Stay Social at this time of Distancing

  “Social Distancing” that’s what we have been listening since 2020 when the lockdown started. Health experts and government officials have asked us to help battle the virus by keeping at least 6 feet away from others. Along with washing hands,  social distancing is one of the most important ways we can "flatten the curve" and slow the spread of COVID-19.

How children learn about inclusivity at Hera Public School
