Welcome back to all of the wonderful children in our class! We hope you all had a lovely Easter. We're straight back into school work this week after our little break last week. It might be a bit harder to figure things out this week as you won't have handout sheets to work from but you can do it! You can use your new copies that we delivered to your houses to do the work in. If you have any questions or are confused about anything, you can write to us on Seesaw and we will try to help you as soon as possible. Upload pictures of your work on to Seesaw just as you have been doing and we will correct it as soon as we can. There is lots of work to get going on but remember the work is for the whole week. There is a suggested timetable and checklist below which you can check on Friday to see that everything is done. Reading is very important to keep up every day- there are lots of links on the school website for you to find new books or you can keep reading books you have at home. We hope that you are all well and we're looking forward to hearing from you all.

Ms. Keenan and Ms. Ryan
