Kent Schools Closure Website:

The Kent Schools Closure website has been reopened so we will post on their website and our 'Home Page' if we have to close due to snow.

What do we do if it is SNOWING?

Firstly, it will say on the 'Home Page scroll' whether the school is open or closed.

Next, decide if it is safe to travel... If it is, then warm clothes, wellie boots, scarves etc will be a must.

Please ensure if it is snowing badly that you make a packed lunch for your child as we may not be able to provide a hot meal.

Finally, if we have to close when the children are here, we will contact you by ClassDojo and Parent Mail.

STAY SAFE!

YES, it is SNOWING..... What could I do at home today?

Home Learning will take place. The class teacher will be in touch :-)

• Make homemade play dough - 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup salt, 2 tbsp. cream of tartar, 2 tbsp. oil, 1 cup water food coloring (optional), Scent (cinnamon, vanilla, mint, etc. – also optional). In a saucepan, mix flour, salt, cream of tartar, scent ingredient, and oil. Slowly mix in water until it’s all smooth. Then turn the heat on medium and stir until it forms a ball of dough. I used a heat-resistant rubber spatula so I could scrape the bottom of the pan easily. Once it’s a ball, plop it onto some wax paper until it’s cool enough for you to touch.
