Dear Children,
We hope you had a lovely Easter and that you enjoyed your Easter eggs. We’re
sure that you are now all set to do some schoolwork. We have assigned the work
below for you to do during the week 20 – 24 April. As usual, we ask that you do as
much of the work as you can, but do not worry if you cannot finish all the work
set. There are lots of links on the School website if you would like more work to
do. We have uploaded the answers to the three weeks’ of Mental Maths already
assigned.
We have given you our email addresses so if you would like feedback on any of the
work you have done perhaps an adult could take a photo of your work and email it
to your teacher. There is no pressure on parents to do this as we understand
circumstances are different in every household.
It is very important that you continue to follow the guidance we have been given
to keep everyone healthy and safe at this time: Please remember to wash your
hands properly with soap and water and, if you don’t have soap and water handy,
please use hand sanitizer. You should cough or sneeze into a tissue and bin the
tissue when you are done. If you don’t have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your
elbow. Please remember social distancing when you are outside of your house and
leave 2 metres between yourself and other people. You should not mix with other
children who do not live with you. We know it is hard to remember all these
points but it is important that we do what we are being asked to ensure we all
stay safe.
We really miss hearing all your wonderful little stories and we hope it is not too
long more before we are back at school.
Take care and stay safe,
Ms Bolton, Ms Connolly and Ms Ryan
