Coronavirus Closure - Week 1 (23.03.20)
Hello Larch Class,
Welcome to our Weekly Blog. I hope you are all safe and well (and behaving!).
As we discussed last week, I will post a message every Monday to explain what I would like you to look at and complete throughout the week. This will include a set of spellings, a selection of activities for Maths and English as well as a reminder about accessing Times Tables Rock Stars - You’ve done a great job with TTRS this week, keep it up! I will also include some Science and Humanities activities to add a bit of variety for you... So kind I know!
Please work through your home learning activities at a steady pace and don’t try to complete them all in one day. Remember our important phrase: ‘Quality NOT Quantity makes the purple standard’.
If you find that you’ve completed all of the allocated activities and you would still like to be getting on with something, there will be a list of my ‘highly recommended’ online resources on our class page along with some project ideas.
Please get in touch via e-mail if you have any suggestions for our ‘Larch Class Recommendations’ page, it would be great to hear from you and I’m sure the other members of our class would like to hear what you’ve been up to as well.
This week, Mrs Rutherford, Mrs O’Connell and myself would like you to work your way through the following activities:
