Hi everyone,

I hope you all had a good week and are keeping safe and well. Below is the assigned work for the next two weeks (Monday 18.05 – Friday 29.05). Parents please remember it is just a suggested list and there is no pressure to complete everything listed below. Try complete a bit of work each day to keep up the routine of school.

Nothing needs to be printed off. You can download sheets or challenges, save them as a word document and attach it to an email to send back to me to be corrected.

As always I would love to see how you’re all getting on. Thank you and well done to everyone who has sent me their work. I have been very impressed with the work you are all doing – keep it up.
