Google Classroom

All parents will have received an email last week with information on Google Classroom. The children will have brought home their log-in details which they have stuck inside their homework diary. The work set on Google Classroom is intended for children who are self isolating and need to work at home.

Homework

We are not currently sending worksheets home. Homework is set weekly on Google Classroom.

Children should also concentrate on the following learning at home if you have time;
