Sadly we had to close our year 2 bubble down this week as we had the report of a positive Covid case within the year group. Staff are working hard and the children are able to access learning remotely through a number of platforms including Class Dojo, Mathletics and Bug Club- so hopefully they are able to keep up with their learning. We are very much looking forward to welcoming them back on Monday 14th December.
