Due to the current COVID-19 restrictions, regrettably we are unable to invite parents into school for a tour of Berkswich CE primary and nursery. We understand that choosing the right setting for your child is one of the most important decisions that you will make in your child’s learning journey. With this in mind, we hope to provide you with a range of opportunities to allow you to gain an insight into life as part of our special Berkswich community and the chance to ask questions. We certainly welcome the opportunity to support and reassure you as you organise your child’s first steps into Nursery and Reception. We are offering virtual meetings to provide an opportunity for new parents to meet our headteacher, EYFS leader and teaching staff. This will provide a great opportunity for you to ask questions and find out about our community and learning at Berkswich CE. Your child is a vital part of this process, and so we welcome them to join in with the meeting.

There is no doubt what an important role being outside plays on our physical and emotional wellbeing. Just a small amount of time spent in the fresh air each day can make us feel happier and healthier.
Nature provides us with a plethora of learning opportunities and a chance to let our imaginations run wild!
"But, how can we make the most of our time outside? What activities can we do at home? What if you have little or no outside space?"
Here are few cost effective and creative ideas for you to try at home - whatever the weather!
*Hessian shopping bags are great to use!*
Complete a STEM challenge by making a swing for your fairies. Or practise your handwriting by making them some sign posts.

*You can create alterative endings to your story. That way, you can tell a different story each time! *
These are just a few ideas to get you started.
We would love to see what you get up to, so please send in a photo and we'll add it to the page.
Enjoy!
