15th-19th June

15th-19th June Theme: S.T.E.A.M (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Maths)

These are some suggested online/offline activities to keep the children working. They are optional and they do not all have to be completed as we do not wish to add further stress to family life during these unprecedented times.

There is an option to email a picture of work or send an email about work completed to the teacher on a Friday only if you wish. You can tell us about what activities you enjoyed.
