Home School Happiness
At Glapton Academy, we value taking pride in our work. Since the world has changed for a little while, we need to celebrate our home school victories whenever possible. Home school happiness photos can involve anything from drawing a colourful picture to solving a complex reasoning question. Check out our memories of happiness, inspiration, friendship, discovery and success below!

Week 2 of Home School Happiness
Hello from Lily and Abby, hope you are you ok?
Over the past month or so we have been extremely busy, as well as our normal daily school work with have been busy doing all sorts of different things. Here are just a few photos of what we have been up to. Abby made a rain shaker as part of her jungle theme homework and Lily made the London bridge as part of her monument homework. Both Lily and Abby have created their own herb garden. They have been brightening up the close by sending the neighbours some colourful rainbow pictures. You can now see their pictures in most of the houses on our close. They have also been baking for the keyworkers that live on our close. They have sent rainbows to family and friends across the country as well. They have sent 45 rainbows including the big handprint one to the City hospital, as well as making rainbow pictures to put in our windows. . Hope you are all well and keeping as safe as you can.
Take Care and hopefully we shall see you very soon.
