Dear Parents and Carers,
I hope you are all well. Thank you for your support over these past two weeks as we adjusted to home learning. The next two weeks are a chance for everyone to rest after such an unsettling time. I know that this is not a typical school break and that some children will be wanting some activities to occupy them during the isolation period. Below are some tasks that you can choose to do with your children over the Easter break. There is no expectation to complete these activities, nor should they be uploaded to the Class Dojo account.
I hope you all have a restful Easter and thank you again for your continued support. I will upload the work on here on Sunday 19th April ready for our first week after the Easter break.
Thank you again,
Miss Luetchford and Mrs Sharon
