We have a creative maths activity for you this week! We would like you to pick a number between 1-20 and make a poster for that number.

Note to parents: Some children are starting to write simple sentences by themselves but if your child is still just writing words, that's fine! Please encourage them to write independently using their phonic skills.

Oracy/Well being

This upcoming week, we will be thinking about all of the ways we can keep ourselves healthy and safe when we are at school.

While you're at home this weekend, think about all of the ways you stay safe in your home. Maybe you have special things around your home to protect you and your family? Talk to an adult about why they are there and why they are important!

W/E 12th March 2021

The children have settled back into school so well and we are very proud of how resilient they have been. Thank you so much to parents and families for all of the wonderful support you provided at home over the difficult past few months. We will now continue to use this page for weekend homework activities.

This weekend, we would like children to reflect on what it was like to learn at home. You can draw a picture and ask an adult to write down what you say, or you can ask them to record you talking about what it was like to learn at home. There are also two templates below that you might want to use to help you. Please upload to Tapestry as "Homework Reflection activity".
