Use of 'Chat': 22.04.2020

We were really delighted to give your children a chance to meet and chat each morning – we all know how important it is for their mental health and also that friendship is one of the joys our children really relate to when they are with us.  However, recently we have noticed that they are chatting during lessons – which is something we dissuade them from as it distracts from their studies.
 
We are reminding the children as it happens but it would be helpful if parents and teachers had a common line of ‘no chat during lesson times’ (unless the teacher has asked that they discuss something).  They can obviously chat when lessons are not happening but, as has been mentioned, any chat should be monitored.
 
Many thanks
