Mrs. Baxter and Mrs. Gribben's P6 Homework Page

Mrs Baxter & I are really excited to be your teachers this year.

After the long summer break your homework for the first two weeks of term is just to take the time to settle in to the routine of school; try to go to bed at a good time,  help the adults at home by organising your schoolbag and if there’s anything that you are unsure of, please just let us know.

Mrs Gribben 😉

Below you will find a variety of class related activities to keep you busy while having to isolate. Be sure to make use of both Studyladder & Sumdog.
