Home Learning Literacy Information and Resources
I have attached some links to resources which you may find useful for supporting your children with learning at home. A couple of the links are general support about routines and structure, while others focus on how you can support your child’s literacy learning.

Online Safety Resources
With all this fantastic use of online materials and resources, it’s important now more than ever that we discuss online safety with our children. Miss Farooq has been gathering some ideas of how we can do this and we will post up activities over the coming weeks for you to do with your children. I have attached an activity for P1-3 and P4-7 to get started.
STEM Vertical Group: Flying object challenge
Mrs Burns and I have been missing our time with our vertical group and have created a STEM challenge that you can take part in at home. If you are not part of our vertical group and fancy joining in, please just go ahead. The more the merrier!
