● A teacher will be waiting at the classroom door, to greet them, make sure they sanitise and show them to their place. There will be no playing in the playground before or after school.
● Each learner has their own chair, a special place to sit and put things.
● There will be a nice safe distance between each child’s place.
● Each child who has one, needs to bring the device and charger to school. ● Morning tea will be provided (fruit and milk)
