We understand that there may be a number of reasons why it might be very difficult for any adult at home to support your child so we have provided a range of different learning within the weekly plans, including some online learning packages that your child is already familiar with as well as new resources that mirror some of the learning that will be happening in class that week
We have provided learning that mirrors the learning that is happening in class as much as possible. Please see the attached links.
If you have any queries or questions, please use the year group email address previously provided.
