Dear Parents,
The activities on this page
are NOT compulsory. We will not be looking for them when the school re-opens.
These are just suggestions. We have not included any material which hasn't been covered in class, and the children should be able to complete a lot of these
activities independently.
We don’t want parents to
feel under pressure in any way to do these, the most important thing is keeping
healthy and safe.
If, however, you want any
other suggestions, specific activities, links to games etc., or have questions, you can email the relevant teacher between 9.20-3p.m.

Senior Room can also log
into their typingclub. (they have their own passwords)
(JUNIOR ROOM: TWINKL: I would recommend some cutting activities for fine motor skills, handwriting practice sheets, there are comprehension activities which would be good for 1st class children. They also have nice stories on this website with many follow up activities.)
Again, these are optional activities, there is no
obligation to do any of these!
