School Closure - Link to the Newsround website

Good morning to all our families!

Today we would like to share a link to the BBC Newsround website.

While we want to shield our children from getting anxious or worried about the current situation, with so much coverage in the media it must be nearly impossible to do this.  Instead, it is good that children understand this issue at a level appropriate for them - knowledge is power!

The BBC Newsround site is a great place for your children to better understand the situation with coronavirus and it would be a great addition to your home learning activities to use this for some time set aside to tackle any questions they may have.

Also on our News Flash below is a booklet you might want to print out and use with your child to help them understand what coronavirus is.

Please stay safe, wash your hands for 20 seconds and only go out when it is absolutely necessary.
