How English primary schools are focusing on emotional education to reopen safely during the coronavirus pandemic (by marcshoffman)

Home learning is still continuing, but sending a child back is a better option for some, particularly single parents like Natasha Starr. Starr, who runs a baby and toddler music class called Hartbeeps, lives with her five-year-old son Bear and said their mental health is more important than whether or not he would catch the virus.

Starr said the school reopening has alleviated some of the worries and now Bear gets interaction with his friends and finds his "magic bubble" exciting.Most children are likely to be excited at the prospect of returning to school and seeing their class and teachers, but it's not so easy for those with special needs such as autism who rely on normality to function. That is a daily challenge made harder for Portfield, a specialist educational needs school in Christchurch, Dorset.

Normally students at the school can make use of its swimming pool or soft play which helps with water therapy and sensory work, but these can't currently be used under government guidelines, so new breakout spaces have been created. London-based business coach Ruth Kudzi has a three-year old girl in nursery and a five-year-old in reception."It's not just the education, but the social and emotional learning they have missed out on," she said. "I felt they couldn't go without that from March until September."
