January 2021: Tier 5 Lockdown

This evening Boris confirmed the inevitable. We are entering a second full lockdown and schools will once again be closed; this time until at least the February half term. I have already taken several enquiries tonight from parents I work with regarding additional hours for their children to supplement the remote learning provided by schools.

I am now taking enquiries for new students looking to potentially begin tuition in September this year. Please do take some time to explore my site and cotact me if you would like to know more. Andy

This week we read chapter 18 of Charlotte's web together and discussed ideas such as metaphor when it came to theme of moving on in the chapter. As the day ends we learn that Charlotte is getting older and less able to spin webs, Fern's interest in the animals is moving on to a special new friendship with Henry Fussy and Wilbur is up for the very public Best In Show award at the local fair. Having reviewed a vari...
