Well done to everyone for working so hard this half term. We have been so impressed with the children’s ability to adapt to online learning. Thanks to all parents for supporting your children’s learning. Enjoy some time away from Google Classroom for half term and have a well-deserved rest. If you would like some ideas for things you could do together, we have collated some ideas below. If you do something that you particularly enjoy, please send some pictures of what you have been up to your class email address.

They will include BBC Bitesize Daily, as well as other much-loved shows with an educational twist, such as Our School, Celebrity Supply Teacher, Horrible Histories and more. |

Keeping Active
Mr Bolton has sent out some activities for keeping fit at home:
Please see below my weekly timetable for keeping active during lockdown. There are three activities each day, One for just after breakfast, after lunch and just before dinner. These are key times of the day to get active in and around your other learning. It's a fact that exercising before learning improves how well you learn !!!
In addition, there's also three challenges per week, on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoon. If you would like to participate, please record yourself doing the challenge and we will be giving out some prizes relating to these, so you may win!
Please see on the link how to enter.
