Firstly, I’d just like to reiterate (and I say this A LOT) – that this unprecedented situation has highlighted just how AWESOME Crew Mac really are.
I’ve spent this week checking in with students in Crew Macmillan who are currently working from home, as we all adapt to what will become our ‘new normal’ for the forseeable future.
We are going to aim to check in on a Monday and Wednesday via Google Classroom – and on a Friday, we will aim to host a crew session via Google Hangouts, so we can hear each other’s voices or see each other’s faces – I, for one, am already missing seeing Crew Macmillan’s faces every day, so hopefully this may fill a small void!
[I do expect full attendance on a Friday if possible, though!]
It’s been wonderful to hear (from both students and parents/carers) that crew Mac have adapted well to not being in school, and most of them have been cracking on with academic work, alongside adjusting to being at home for an extended period (see below some FABULOUS notes by Archie for some HUMAN work!).
Remember, though, guys, that
your well-being comes first.
Get the work done, but take your time – I don’t expect you to work solidly for 6 hours daily – break it down a bit! Get in the garden, do some baking, tie-dye old clothing, do some knitting, or ballet (Archie!) – whatever you do, make sure it makes you smile, and send me some pictures – so it can make me smile, too!!
Parents/Carers
Don’t forget, i’m also working from home – so if there’s anything at all you need,even if you just need to chat, or have any worries or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me at [email protected] – if you prefer, we can schedule a call or a Hangout (just maybe not early morning, NOBODY wants to see that!)
Also, please do use our Parent Support Centre for more guidance and support for whilst your child is at home.
Stay safe everyone, and stay home!
