Home Learning

In these times of uncertainty we understand that things can be a little strange and out of routine for you and your little ones. We want to assure you Reception staff are thinking of your children daily and are hoping they are having fun doing their home learning. Each week we will post a challenge to keep your child interested in learning and hopefully it will be something to entertain and engage the whole family.
