Eagles - 11th May - Home Learning

Date: 10th May 2020 @ 10:35am

Good Morning Eagles! 

Hope you had a lovely weekend and enjoyed the sunshine. Great to see that some of you joined in with the VE Day festivities and celebrations:

   

We had some excellent VE Day newspaper reports this week! Our best yet! Here are Jack V's, Rosie's, Kayden's & Noel's efforts:

 

 

Reflection:

This week would have represented a very significant week for us: SATS Week. 

How different it has turned out...

It's sad really. I know that all the hard work and dedication you put in this year, and the years that went before, would have come to fruition this week. I know that many of you are disappointed; some extremely disappointed. SATS or not, you have all worked extremely hard this year and should be proud of your efforts. I know you have all made excellent progress, and you do too. 

However, there is more to life than SATS. Just as this pandemic has taught us - some things are more important.  Take care of yourselves, spend time with your family and keep working hard to be the best that you can be. Your efforts have not been for nothing. The skills and positive mindset that you have developed at The Gates will place you in an excellent position as you progress to high school next year and for the rest of your lives after that.

Can't wait to see you all again. I heard on the news last night that it could be in a few weeks time if all goes well, but whether its in a few weeks, or a little more than that, I'm sure we'll meet again some sunny day!

Take care,

Mr Simpson
