So, to help keep the spirits up, please do share information on your social media channels about what you are doing to help and support your communities and also any fun and creative ideas you have. Please use the hashtag #HomeLearning for what students are learning at home whilst school is closed and be sure to tag @ArkGreenwich on Twitter. We will encourage others to re-share your content and will do so on our social media platforms.-AGFS
