Good morning children,
I know some of you are in school but most are at home and I thought I would just use this space to keep in touch.
I am hoping to share some videos of things I am getting up to and also read you some of my favourite children's books, do some assemblys.
I would love to know how you are all getting on too so I am going to set up a special school email so that your grown ups can send me some updates as to what you've been up to with pictures if they want to share them. I can then share these on here for your friends to see. I'll let you know what this is later.
I hope you are all being super good and helpful at home and getting on with your learning online. Remember our respect value and I will be back soon!
Email address for sharing what you are doing is blog@dovedale.derbyshire.sch.uk
