Hi there,


Could I please ask what other state primary schools are doing in terms of their virtual learning programme? Are your teachers doing lessons for the children (through Zoom or another medium)? Are they sending curriculum links? Are they asking you to send back work for marking? Just trying to gage what's happening during this period.


Huge thanks.

Just a short video every day (5-10 minutes) where they read a section from a book, then ask the kids to write a few sentences about it, maybe draw a picture, and do a very simple maths exercise. We then send in photos of the work - but it's not marked. However, this is only year 1!


They've also given everyone a textbook to work through, and recommended a number of educational apps.

This is set to be a huge issue for many families who don?t have access to PCs, Tablets, iPads or broadband. The government will be in breach of the law.

We would not be closing them if they had some basic things like:

Absolutely disgraceful. I was shocked that hot water and soap were not available or rationed in schools in this country. No wonder kids (and their families) get bugs as soon as they start going to school.

    • Hello, a bit of a long shot but I'm looking to buy a Garmin vivoactive 4s (the smaller size watch face) if anyone has one and is looking to upgrade / pass one on. I've got my eye on eBay but thought I'd try locally just in case there's one no longer in use in a drawer somewhere! Many thanks, Chara
    • That's very special ♥️
    • @first mate  just Google the Green's policies and AI should summarise.  For sustainable transport this includes more initiatives to get people out of their cars as you would expect.  I've always been broadly in favour of their environmental policies, although feel they should go further on culture change. Some of their national policies are bonkers and/or unrealistic - as are most of Reform's.  Historically fringe parties could come up with nonsense, as they will never govern.  Of course whilst I don't expect that Polanski will ever be PM that other bloke could be.  Worrying times, particularly if the Greens split the centre/left vote.  It would be better if One Nation Tories could split the centre vote (and drag some of those on the right), but they don;t have a lot of influence in the current party. One particularly bonkers policy was one element of the Greens who wanted us out of Europe, not because of Europe being pro market/capitalism but because we needed a recession, deindustrialise, so we would all go back to the middle ages.  Or something along those lines.  I lost some friends because of this. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03y5trr#:~:text="Protectionism against developing countries%2C savage austerity in,the case for either remain or leave. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jun/08/eu-reform-green-brexit
    • I've planted a meadow out front, it needs a lot of work.  It's lovely until August and then grotty until the next spring as once the flowers have died back it doesn't have a lot going for it.  Clover is the last one to flower.  It will get admiring looks when in bloom. I laugh quite loud when I pass one neighbour with plastic grass, not only is it dead to nature it is not even laid well,   I should be crying.
