"ALL schools in wales to close from Friday
Education minister Kirsty Williams has released a statement saying that the Easter break is being brought forward and "schools across Wales will close for statutory provision of education at the latest on Friday, March 20.
"From next week, schools will have a new purpose. They will help support those most in need, including people involved in the immediate response to the coronavirus outbreak. I am working with my colleagues in the Cabinet, with government officials and our partners in local government to develop and finalise these plans.
"The key areas we are looking at are supporting and safeguarding the vulnerable and ensuring continuity of learning. We are looking in detail at how we can support and safeguard all those who benefit from free school meals and children with additional learning needs. I will make sure you are kept up-to-date.
"While this will apply to schools, childcare settings are expected to remain open until we have definitive advice from the Chief Medical Officer and from Public Health Wales that any closures are required. Parents can, and should, speak with their usual childcare providers if they need care over the Easter holidays"
She is also due to speak in the Senedd at 1.30pm."
Thank goodness for that! Have spent all morning trying to decide whether to make today my kids last day in school or let them see out the week. Feel like the decisions been made for me.
Anyone know if we can watch the Senedd live?
