School Rules!

It's great to see your comments about your experiences of working from home (and we are keeping track of those who haven't posted one yet!).

It does seem that many of you are enjoying not having to get up so early in the morning and having snacks as often as you want them! However, it seems you are missing a number of things including specialist lessons, your friends, your teachers (we're glad about that!) and help whenever you need it. We are pleased that, despite these difficulties, you have been coping really well and have generally been producing really good work under your own steam.

What comes across most of all from all of you, however, is that you all seem to be missing school very much and can't wait to start again on Saturday! Believe us, we are missing you too and are looking forward to resuming lessons next week. It's not quite the same coming into an empty classroom each morning.

Here's a puzzle for you. Mr. Whitaker read this teaser last night, and didn't know what the object was. Can you help him?

"A box without hinges, key or lid,
Yet inside golden treasure is hid. "

Who is going to be first with a correct answer? ...
