I am happy about this decision as it means we can work with much more experienced people at school. It is also good as we are now waking up quite late, this is not good for our health!

The vote is 50% 50%!

I am happy to go back to school, as we are free from distractions and have a proper schedule to the day. Also, it would be great to see our friends again and get help from qualified teachers.

I voted No. I voted No because although I like seeing my friends again and being and school is more fun. I also sometimes suffer from anxiety and I find it much easier for me to be in a quiet spot. I think I prefer it at home because I am concentrating much better and do not have to be anxious on the amount of noise. I would prefer if my class would have less noisy people in it. It probably will because after we go back if the social distancing rules are still around we will probably split the class into half. Thank you very much.

My vote is NO.

We still haven't beat the virus. I think we should wait until Christmas. Its sad but true. I want to go back but I cant. I could infect people accidentally. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹

If some social distancing measures are still working in school, I think it's much better for student's mental health and education to be back there. However if someone doesn't want to at the moment for health reasons they should be able to stay home and carry on with online learning.

I really miss my school - I want to be able to see my friends more, and I'm worried that I'll fall behind in class - but I would not feel comfortable going back to school in these worrying circumstances anytime soon.

I am not going back to school because my mum has a health condition. Nearly all of my friends are going back to school on Monday (I am in year 6) but me and a handful of my friends are staying home. We would have done a production and a leavers assembly but now we won't and it is really disappointing. I will miss my friends who are going to a different high school than me as I won't get to see them this year :'(

Second to comment!

And also, I think as I am one of the years going back to school on June 1st, I am looking forward to seeing my teachers and friends :)

I'm really excited to go back to school, as I have only seen my friends through a screen which doesn't have the same affect as when you actually see them face to face. Also, it is my last year at primary school, and I wouldn't want to go off to secondary without seeing all my friends first.

😕 I do not Know ? Is it safe yet? Someone tell me plz.🤗

I am very happy about returning to school because I miss the support from my teachers and friends.

I am happy to go back to school because we can see all our friends from a safe distance!

I would be happy although I am at high school because since our school only opened a year ago it is normally super empty and we only have Year 7 and 8.

If I go to school and catch COVID-19 I could pass it to my grandparents and make they ill and I don't want that to happen.

I have GCSE exams coming up, but still wouldn’t feel that it isn’t safe to go back to school, as my parents are carers for their elderly parents and i don’t want to pass anything on to them.

I wouldn't be happy to go to school because what is your friends have Covid-19? Or you have it and pass it onto your friends? Plus, you wont be able to hug your friends and you will be split up in classes of 15! I strongly disagree with going back to school!

opalstar hi! I can't promise you I know, so if you want a really accurate answer, you would want to have a chat with a doctor. But honestly, I'd say it's safe. This is because we are still going to be social distancing even when at school... I'm pretty sure... lol. Plus, I trust that the government wouldn't allow us to go back to school if there were any huge risk. I hope I have answered your question, but it is mainly built off of my opinion, so you'll have to find some info that wasn't so biased😂! Stay safe!

I said yes even though we’re pretty much still on lockdown I really want to see my mates, friends and teachers!

I want to because everyone in my school gets an email address! #stayathome 😷😷😷😷😷

I would love to go back to school, but my Mum (who is a keyworker) would not like me to go.

i have got used to remote learning

STAY SAFE EVERYONE!!!

I voted YES! I miss school a lot and I would love to see everyone there but of course it is another opportunity for the stupid virus to spread and infect millions more people. If all the children and staff did not carry out social distancing measures then my answer would definitely be NO. I believe that they would stay 2m apart and stick to all the rules.

To all of you going out and not social distancing please DON'T because you could be saving a life by not following the rules.

No because I don’t want to get the virus and also you have to social distance your friends which means you can not play with them and that is the most fun part of school, seeing your friends.

STay safe
Stay safe
Stay safe

I am very happy because now I get to see the people I miss at school. At school we have a healthier daily routine. My vote is yes!

#staysafe #protect the NHS #save lives

Mac rings innit

Sorry about that Mac rings in nit. (It wasn't me, it was a broski). I kind of want to go properly back to school.

I think it depends on different parts of school. The good is learning more and seeing friends, the bad might be annoying teachers or boring lessons!

I don't think it's going to be over safe but I really won't to go back so I can see all my friends

Yess love school, I really miss being there🙂

But only when it is safe

I voted yes because then I can see all my friends.... But I am not going back to school yet! My sister is but I am not! The school is only open for certain classes! Mine isn’t one of them! ❤️

I would be happy to go back to school since the government has been doing everything they can to make schools safe. We would all be in bubbles and limit contact with others, so it would be safe. Also, I am in Year 6, so this is my last year at primary school. I would like to go to school to say goodbye to all my teachers and friends. ☹️ As well as this, going to school would be more fun than staying at home.

I think I would be, but school wouldn’t be the same at all, and it would have a totally different atmosphere. I also think we still haven’t beaten COVID-19, so I’m not sure it would be safe. However, overall, I think I would be happy to go back to school!

School is such a great thing - I want to get back as soon as possible!
It's important it's safe of course , but you know....

i think that i'm happy to because there will be more help at school and the teahcers explane things out and they know what they're doing and they always draw or explane it out well so that we understand, i also really miss seeing my friends.

hi i don't never wanna go back 2 school but am desperate 2 return 2 sport

hi

Yes, I get to see all my friends, I get to work without my irritating little brother, ...etc...etc...etc

it's so not fair. my school isn't open to me. #not fair

has anyone else been In school because there parents are key workers?

I love school and will be pleased to go back

I see lots of other First News users are saying that we haven’t beaten the virus and that we should stay indoors for longer. This action of going back to school isn’t simply just for education, it’s for mental health. Lots of schools have opened just because some of their students have been so bored and tired of being stuck inside all the time. Yes, I agree we haven’t completely beaten the virus. But, we will never have completely beaten the virus; Like the flu, we can’t get rid of a sort of virus or disease completely. It’s not that simple and easy to just destroy it forever. This is a very interesting debate and I enjoy reading all the opinions. :)

I am very happy to go back to school, I always feel safe as long as me and the people I'm with are wearing masks. But at the same time, it doesn't feel right and I just wish it could be completely normal soon.

im not going back to school but i would be so happy to go back !!!!!!!!!

NNAAAYYYY

HHOOMMEE LLEEAARRNNIINN IISS THE BEEESSSTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my parents = bbest teachers i ever had

(=2xas good as my teacher

It's really nice to see friends but its also quite hard to get back into routine.

My school has quite a lot of open space and (a reasonably) small number of pupils.
I really want to go back to school as I find working at home difficult. As I am in year 6, I am very lucky to be one of the years going back. However, our school couldn't except us back on the 1st. Thankfully, they have said we can go back on this Monday (22nd), which I am very exited for.

I want to say thanks to all the teachers working at the moment. Keep up your good work!

Of course👍👍!! #Lockdownlife is finally not boring anymore!!

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeessss I’m in school 🏫 again it has been 3 long months

I am happy and I want to share thsi quote of mine to the world:

you dont realize what you have until you dont have it.

This means that :
you know how before everyone said that they wished there was no such thing as school? well, now that wd dont have it, we realize that school isnt like that. without our friends we are bored sick at home and may faint of bing inside for too long.

My school has made the decision that all pupils in years 2-5 will also be going back. I am very happy!

Yes

I feel that with the threat of a second wave of coronavirus over the horizon, it is still NOT safe to go to school and I would feel much more comfortable at home.

✌︎'ω'✌︎

YES Because i really need to see my friends

: ]

I am happy to go back to school but it might be a bit weird and a lot different

JEDBOI DONT LIKE SCHOOL

I agree with peebi0412 though it would be nice to see our friends for a bit IN school!!!

even though I get to go in anyway as a key workers child

Im kind of ok as it is different but I get to see all my friends :-)

I can't WAIT for schools returning! I'm in Year 7, going into Year 8 so I haven't been able to go back. But I am happy as I only have 1 more year until I get to choose my GCSEs. (Most schools choose at Year 9 but mine does Year 8)

I would go because when I was in lockdown,the lessons took me from 1-2 hours.Also,there lessons were easier than in school and there are less subjects.Finally, I would like to see my friends again.

I was happy to go back to school for a couple of days because I get to see somewhere a bit different to do my school work. I went back to school for a couple of days because my mum is a teacher. not all my friends were there but still a few.

I'm happy to go to school cause I can see my teacher and friends
