Home learning in Year 6

March 17, 2020

You may have noticed that the children came home with a home learning pack today (Tuesday 17th March). Following guidance from the Government, we are continuing to stay open so these packs should be considered precautionary at the moment. We will keep you updated with home learning tasks on this blog, so please check back regularly for updates and tasks.
