Home learning for Year 1 - Squirrels

Week Beginning 22nd February 2021

Dear Squirrels Parents and Children,

Welcome to Term 4!

New:

  • This Wednesday no 'work' will be set as we have something exciting happening!

  • SPECSAVERS VIRTUAL WINTER SCHOOL GAMES (info in 'PE' section)

Please complete a lesson of Maths and English each day and do the ‘frequently’ section a few times a week. Then you can do the Learning Journey and Science lesson when the mood is right across the week. I have also included an 'Other Learning' section, in case you wanted anything extra!

I hope you are all well. If you need to contact me for help/ a chat/ any form of support or just to send me pictures of your child's work, please feel free to do so via email- cp@harlandsprimary.org

Stay safe,

Miss Pooley.
