Good Afternoon everyone, I hope you have all had a great day. It might feel a little strange working from home and I hope you are finding your timetable useful – I think it is important to maintain a little bit of structure whilst we aren’t in school. Thank you to everyone that has emailed me so far with queries, your dedication is amazing!
I thought it would be helpful to put together some more useful links to websites that may be of use to you all whilst the schools are closed. You can use these links to do lots of activities and where it refers to Home Learning Challenge on the timetable you can use these websites for that, if you wish. These websites are in addition to those that are on the Home Learning Grid – I couldn’t fit them all on! If you find out anymore that you think would be of use, please email me with any suggestions and I will post on the blog!
Missing you all! Stay safe and take care, Mrs P!
