Home Learning for the Holidays

Well done to all our St.Vincent’s pupils (and parents!) who have worked so hard on your Home Learning for the first two weeks of school closure. Today would be the final day of the Spring Term and we think you all deserve a holiday. Your teachers would like one too! Even if we are not able to travel, it is important to rest and spend quality time with our families, especially as we celebrate Easter.

Blogs

We know some of you would appreciate some activities to complete during this time so we will be posting a daily Whole School Blog, with an optional activity for everyone in the whole school to participate in. A different teacher will set the activity each day and that teacher will respond to your comments on the Blog. This gives you the opportunity to communicate with everyone in our school family!

If you want to keep up with your Home Learning remember to check the recommended websites on the Home Learning Page

You can now also leave comments on some of the news posts-please do give us your feedback!
