Home Learning During Closure
Click here to read our - Summer Term Welcome Letter 2020
We will be using Tapestry, e-mail and this page to send out activities and to keep in touch.
We will try and give out suggestions for a range of activities that are easy to resource and fun to do. Hopefully something to appeal to everyone. It will be a difficult time and we don't want parents to feel under pressure to 'be a teacher'. You are a parent first.
Look out for:
Mondays - a new reading book on Tapestry
Mondays - maths activities and literacy activities around a story, on this page and by e-mail
Thursdays - a new reading book on Tapestry
We would love to hear what you have been upto, please keep communicating on Tapestry, e-mail us or post a letter to the school. We will be in touch with you as well.
