The Burrenreagh Lockdown Chronicles.Our Life in Pictures.

18th May 2020

We have been in lockdown for over two months now. Our beautiful school remains closed, but we are so fortunate because we all just cannot wait to get back to Burrenreagh. In the meantime, we go on Google Classroom daily where our teachers set work, communicate with us and mark our work each day in real time. Lots of us are video conferencing also where our teachers even have an interactive whiteboard and this gives us a chance to see our friends, talk to them and learn with them like old times.

We have presented a collection of photos which chart our time in lockdown, learning online, playing sport and farming. We hope you enjoy them. If you can add some more photos to them, please e mail them to jhunt307@c2kni.net. Thank you to everyone who supplied these amazing pictures.

The google classroom is working really well. The children can keep in touch with each other and he can talk to his teacher and ask questions if he is stuck. Today they had a conference call and Jake was so excited to see all his friends and his teacher.
