A message from Miss Scott 20/4/20 
Parents, if you have any queries relating to home learning, contact the year group email address and one of the teachers will have a look at it. Your Reception email address is: reception@varna.manchester.sch.uk
Some children might be finding it hard to understand why they can't go out or come to school. Here is a great book that helps explain why we have to stay home at this time.
Other books that may help your child deal with any fear or worry include the books shown below. Click on the picture for more book recommendations.
