Workpacks for Week: March 30th - April 3rd

Parents, please note that this is a suggested programme of work for the week. It is a guideline and is designed to assist you in home-schooling your child during this very difficult period in our lives. Parents are encouraged to assist their children where and when they can, but please don’t feel under pressure to complete items if they are causing difficulty. We would encourage parents to focus on the core subjects of English and Maths – the main thing is that children stay in touch with their learning and have a positive structure to their day over the course of the disrupted school term. If your child does not have access to online resources or a device then let them just complete the work that can be done without being online.
