At this unprecedented time we encourage our families to ensure that you are taking the time to spend time doing things that allow you to enjoy each other's company and things at home that you might not usually get time to do - cooking, playing board games, building lego, painting pictures, being storytellers, reading with and to each other, making crafts, making huts from blankets, hopscotch, skipping, gardening . . . the list is endless!
