Home learning from previous weeks
Well we're onto week eight of school closure, we hope that you've been able to keep your spirits up and continue to enjoy a range of home learning activities. We have included a video from some of the Year 4 team this week, we hope that you enjoy watching it! It was great to phone so many of you this week to check in and hear how well you're doing! It was really lovely too how many parents and children were asking me how I was and checking if I was OK in return. What a caring bunch we all are!
Check out our two new pages 'Ready, Steady, Cook' and 'Super Science Fun' to mix up your home learning with some yummy recipes and fun science experiments. Mr Wale has also created a Primary Athletics page and we'd love you to take part and represent our school!
