RETURN TO SCHOOL 

We are really looking forward to having all the children back in school.  We know that the children will all have different emotions about this so I have recorded a story to share at home about returning to school.

Please click on the link to hear the story - Back to School 

On this page, Mrs Ikin will be adding items for those who may want some additional support for their children with Special Educational Needs, for example Speech and Language or motor skills activities. We want to ensure that the children are supported as best as possible during this tricky time. Each tab will have different areas identified with different activities to download. The Social, Emotional and Mental Health tab may also be useful for children who are finding the affects of lockdown difficult and are anxious.
Please feel free to email Mrs Ikin at s.ikin@wilbrahamprimary.com  if you feel something could be added that would be beneficial.  if you would like any particular resources for your child then please email Mrs ikin and we will try to support with whatever we can.
