Happy Easter!
This week I will be making an Easter card for someone special. I am choosing to send mine to my lovely Mum who is working hard keeping lots of Mums and babies safe. I will send her a picture of the card on Easter Sunday. Is there anyone you would like to send a card to? It could be a keyworker, a neighbour or even someone in your family that you would like to make smile. You could send them a picture just like me and make their day!

School Closure
Each Monday I will be updating my class page with some Literacy and Numeracy activities you may like to try out at home.
I understand not every family has access to a computer/laptop/iPad/or the internet so please feel free to share this information with other parents, if you think it would be helpful.
In addition, I will be linking some worksheets, these do not need to be printed, children could write their answers onto a page, their homework book or alternatively parents could write them out for children if they feel this would be beneficial.
In the event of school closure:
Spellings and Mental Maths targets are in homework books. These can be revised. I have also attached some website links which may be helpful.
