At Smith's Wood, we understand the importance of a healthy lifestyle, during these difficult times it is still vital to ensure that all children remain active, to help with this we have been collecting resource packs with fun activities for yourself and your children to complete whilst at home.
In order to support your child to learn at home, we are again, offering for you to collect a work pack to cover two weeks’ worth of learning. To ensure we are being responsible, please adhere to the days and times below so that we can maintain social distancing rules. You will need to arrive at the small hall, where you will be directed to a table to collect your child’s pack.
At the end of a very ‘unusual’ 2 weeks in the lives of us all, we, at Smith’s Wood Primary Academy, would like to once again wish you well for the upcoming weekend and hope that you are all staying safe with your families. I know that this would have been the last day of the Spring term for all of us and children would have been heading home to enjoy the holidays and the huge amount of chocolate that they would consume in Easter eggs. We do hope that you have all managed to stock up on treats for Easter, so that you can enjoy some family time, albeit in the confines of your own homes.
The continued support, from parents, during the school closure continues to be outstanding and we would like to thank you for respecting the Government guidelines and keeping your children at home, safe with you, wherever you are able to do so.
