...just.
This Saturday will be the end of our Spring Term and, hopefully, the last we will have to do on Zoom.
Since this time last year, the students have had a maximum of 8 lessons in person out of 38. Bearing this in mind, they have done stupendously. As have you parents.
The times I have thought we should just give it all up have been countless and then, someone's dog will join in with Tap, one of the students will type something hilarious into the 'chat' or we will have a breakthrough with a routine or step.
With this in mind, we teachers have discussed certain students who have been particularly remarkable; be it with their attendance, attitude, uniform + hair or all of the above. They have kept us going and will be receiving a certificate and prize at the first lesson back next term. These students are:
