Covid – Round Two
We were all bombarded with advice and directives on how we would bring our students back in these uncertain times and each school interpreted them in their own style.
Primary schools benefited from the ability to create ‘bubbles’ for their year groups, often having staggered drop off, pickups and break and lunch times.
Returning To School
Following on from my previous article, the well-being of our staff is a key area of consideration moving forward.
Things to Consider:
The government ‘back to school’ directive will bring with it a myriad of emotion for all school staff, whether they work with primary or secondary children, with the key question: is it safe for the children and for us? The fact that this is unanswerable in any definitive way at the moment will inevitably be causing feelings of stress or panic for many.
KCS - Supporting Keyworkers with PPE
Following two months of disruption, schools are preparing to go back, and we know this will be an unsettling time for everyone involved.
Remote Working - The next stage
Week 6 – I have now, along with my colleagues and many others, been remote working for almost six weeks. At the start, I wrote about my optimism about this new way of working, communicating with colleagues and managing work-load. A few weeks on and I decided to ask myself if my feelings towards it have changed.
The Importance Of Good Hygiene In An Early Years Setting
Good hygiene and controlling infections is extremely important in any early years setting or school. Opportunities for children to learn how to keep themselves safe and healthy are vitally important in any early years setting. Learning how to wash your hands effectively or manage a trip to the toilet on your own takes time and lots of practice. It is vital that the routines and organisation of any setting support individual children in achieving these milestones despite the time it may take.
