Therapy Links - April 2020
Hi everyone,
Hope you are keeping safe and well at home. We miss all of your children’s little faces!
We want to help you at home as much as we can. We have already been speaking to lots of you individually by phone and have sent out individually tailored resources to those who have asked.
We have now also pulled together some useful links and videos that you might find useful.

Hi Everyone,
I hope you are all keeping safe and well in this strange new situation we find ourselves in! I know it will be a challenge to keep your little ones entertained over the coming weeks so I wanted to share some activities and strategies with you to try at home which will hopefully help! Over the next few weeks I will be uploading relevant information, activities and ideas for you on the school website. If you have any specific requests please get in touch. Stay safe everyone!
Best Wishes Vickie
