March Home Learning Plans
Hi everyone! We are missing you all and can't wait to see you soon.
Until school is open again, we will be updating this page at the start of each week with your new Home Learning tasks. We will be assigning four areas that we would like you to complete by the end of the week. The activities we suggested for the first two weeks can be found on this page also.
You can use the submission forms below or use the Submit Home Learning tab above, to send some of your work to your teacher. We would like to see one piece of work from every child. During the week, your teacher will give you feedback on this. We will also be suggesting some additional activities that you can complete if you would like.
For extra work and bonus activities to try, check out this page on our website.
