Lockdown Activities 2021
As we have entered yet another national lockdown, King’s staff have created a range of activities for our community to enjoy. We would like to invite you to join as many of the activities as you choose from the comprehensive list below. We are grateful to the key members of staff who have volunteered to run these new, fun and exciting things. We hope you enjoy them and that it makes the days pass easier until we can all be back together again. The wellbeing of our community is at the heart of what we do, and we hope you will be able to enjoy a variety of activities either on your own, or with your family.
You will be able to access these in different ways, including YouTube, Google Classroom, Google Meets, The King’s School website and Twitter Feed. There is something for everyone!
We hope you enjoy taking part in a range of our lockdown clubs! If you do try cooking or making items it would be great if you could share photos of you doing so by sending them to the member of staff leading the activity. These will be used online so only share if you are happy for them to be used.
