Why pick the one group of children that really cannot be expected to understand social distancing? Why the rush? Or yet again is the teaching profession regarded as merely childminders? And yes I understand the need to ensure that the least advantaged children get an education but I can't help thinking that adjustments can be made later by extending the teaching day so as to cover missed work. Why risk it now?

Exactly ! Reception and year1 is a bizarre choice to get the ball rolling. Getting them to stay put and socially distance is akin to herding cats.
