Welcome to Monday’s Home Learning
IMPORTANT!
1) Lessons and activities may be completed in any order and whenever is convenient for you and your child. Your child has regular breaks and play times at school. We encourage you to provide fitness breaks, walks and free play opportunities in between learning sessions.
2) We ask that you keep your child’s learning in a safe place (such as a work book or a folder) to bring into school when he/she returns to school. Alternatively, you may wish to send me a photograph of their learning by email.
Tommy says: ‘Good morning boys and girls, I hope you have a great day.’
