Hello

Firstly I’m sorry to have not been able to be at Milton since Tuesday. I know the kids had a fun few days with the rest of the school.

A detailed blog post was put up about what learning is likely to look like moving forward. This is new to all of us and I am really keen that we make this transition as smooth as possible.

I will assign a daily timetable of activities. I want to firstly reassure you that these should be fun and shouldn’t be too challenging. I will be assuming that all children have access to a device to complete this, if this is not the case please let me know and I will get some alternative activities to you. If your child only wants to complete part of the daily activities that is fine, this will be new for them too.

What I would ask is that you comment or communicate with me daily. This will be used as a register. It can be as simple as a comment with the name of your child or a part of the daily activities they really liked.

If you have any questions at all please do not hesitate to contact me.
