Hello everyone,

I hope that you all had a lovely Christmas with your family. Unfortunately, we have not been able to return to school because of all the nasty old germs in our world. I really miss you but hopefully it won't be too long until we are all back together again in our lovely classroom, in Windsor Hill. In the meantime, you are going to enjoy some "Home Learning" time with your families. For Thursday 7th and Friday 8th January only, I will post some activities for you to complete on this website, on our "class page", under different subject headings. From Monday 11th January, your "Home Learning" activities will be posted on the "Seesaw" app. I have posted log on details and a guide for using "Seesaw" to you, which should arrive with you before Monday.  

Please remember to work through the activities, (some of which will need to be printed), on a daily basis - there is something for everyone! Most children will be able to complete the majority of this work, (after explanation) independently but some may need a little support with some activities. As before, please feel free to contact me via email at ymoore469@c2ken.net if you have any problems. Remember you can send me some photographs of your child working and having family fun time too. These photographs can then be added to our "Home Learning" gallery of photographs. Thanking you all in anticipation and continue to take lots of care and stay safe.

* REMEMBER: - Enjoy spending extra time at home with your family! Play lots, try to get outside for some fresh air and look around you at our wonderful world - for lots of signs of Winter. Also bake, sing, dance, relax, draw and help in your home.

Lots of hugs,

Mrs Moore x
