2021 Term 3 Wk 1-2 - home sweet home
/
We’re so happy to be back home at BBPS
💛🖤💛 and in our wonderful Hive room 💛🖤💛
(even if we are missing almost all the lovely kids…!)
Thank you everyone…
…for supporting school & the Hive by following the Public Health Orders and keeping children at home where possible.
For when it’s not possible, we’re open every morning and afternoon, caring for a very small crew, running a simplified program, and still having loads of fun! The kids are loving our new role play tool bench, supermarket and cafe resources! The decreased attendance also means we’ve tipped the balance of focus towards the administrative and behind-the-scenes aspects of our work; we’re all still keeping very busy!
Are all your bookings in place?
If you had Term 2 bookings which you cancelled because of Covid, please consider reinstating them and marking them ‘absent’ during lockdown (currently until 30th July). This will help us receive funding from the government, and will cost you nothing; there is no charge to parents for notified absences during lockdown. If you’re not sure what to do, drop us an email and we’ll help you out.
💞 Look after each other 💞
We hope all our families are doing OK through lockdown, and that you’re all looking after yourselves and one another. We’re all trying to get outdoors at least once a day, but it can still be a challenge to fill the hours at home with the kids. Below are a couple of links that might help you out…
This mega-list of (mostly) screen-free activities, was compiled by a Sydney mum and has already gone viral…
And if your (maybe slightly older) kids enjoy more of a science/engineering challenge, try this collection of experiments, many of which use things you’ll already have at home…
