JUNIOR KING’S ONLINE Starting the Lent Term in Lockdown
As we were preparing to open the school to pupils once more for the start of the Lent Term in January, schools across the UK were once again asked to close their doors to help limit the further spread of the coronavirus in the community. After the success of our initial launch of the Junior King’s Online Eduction programme in the Summer Term of the previous year, teachers once again taught their lessons online, with pupils logging in for a comprehensive, creative remote education. Unlike the first full UK lockdown in 2020, on this occasion our Nursery was allowed to remain open, bringing life to a corner of our site and joining children of key workers, who we continued to care for through this second school closure.
Year 3 learned about springs and springy materials in Science, discovering that they could make musical instruments out of materials that vibrate to make a sound. Here are Henry and Cassiopea with their improvised instruments.
Our pupils proved adaptable, responsible and resilient in the face of this further lockdown, despite the mid-year disruption to their in-person teaching, and once again they impressed with their attitude to online learning, resulting in some truly excellent work. On the following pages, you will see a snapshot of what pupils accomplished away from their classrooms; a glimpse into a very different start to 2021.
