Along with the Head, Governors, staff, parents and their partners Marc and I helped to clear the school (where I work and my youngest child attends) of snow. We have made enough spaces for the staff that live out of the area to be able to park their cars and the path ways clear for the children to walk on.
We have requested that the parents walk with their children, as the roads around the school are still quite slippery, surrounding roads being on hills and slopes. The children do not have to wear their uniform so that they are warm and comfortable.
I am part time but have spent the last few days sorting through cupboards to find surplus materials etc for the crafts that are on going and searching through our National Geographic magazines to see what ones can be used for this terms topics.
I do not agree with the closing of all the schools, however when too many staff live out of the area in the villages that are not yet cleared of snow and fallen trees we can only open when we have enough staff to be able to cover the classes.
