Earthquake

I am just sitting here thinking of the week has been. It has been one of the more emotional of my life. With the earthquake on Saturday and the aftershocks to follow I have been worried about family and friends and children from Team 1 and your families. I hope that you are all safe and well, and that all your houses are OK. I hope that you and all your family are beginning to feel a little less shaken. My family are all safe and sound, and only minor damage to our houses. We lost a chimney and some large cracks to the walls and ceilings. Most of my street is still in one piece although they are missing chimneys. Tilly my dog has been very quiet but has kept me company whilst James has gone to work.
We (the staff) are meeting tomorrow to discuss how we can support your children with their transition back to school and how we can help them feel as safe and happy as possible. Keep an eye on the school website too as there are some really useful tips to help with any anxious children.
Please let me know if you feel your child has been particularly upset by the recent events, so we can cater to their needs at school.
Keep safe
