Std 4S Life After Lockdown

 

The children have probably adapted to the ‘new normal’ much faster than I have and they remind me that they would rather be at school than being at home doing Google Classroom. I am proud of the way in which they have arrived back to the classroom and got on with the daily life of school. Yes, they can’t hug their teacher or friends, can’t come up to the desk for help and they can’t do afternoon activities, but they certainly can spend time together chatting about their lives and what is going on at school, just at a distance. They have adapted to using a mask and washing and cleaning their hands often and it has become second nature. They hand in work differently and marking takes a little longer with books going into ‘quarantine’ but we are making the classroom work and we are up to date with work being completed.

 

This week we completed our Matisse Artwork and the children also presented their orals as Professors of Entomology at the Thornhill University. Thank you everyone for all your hard work.

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the Thornhill Primary School website, filled with information which, we hope, will attract your interest and serve to give a sense of the rich flavour of life at our school.
