Whole school ‘Quiz of the Week’
If you’re struggling to keep yourself entertained this week…why not have a go at our whole school quiz?
Half-term Home Learning
Because this week is half-term, we’re taking a break from the usual daily home learning tasks (just like we did at Easter). Instead, we’ve prepared a menu of home learning activities that you might want to dip into this week – these are optional only, but you might want to encourage your child to have a go at being a quiz master, doing some up-cycling, presenting a cookery masterclass or any of the other activities.
Whatever you decide to do, we hope you have a happy and healthy half-term.

Make sure that you take the time to rest and enjoy this time with your families.
Take care and stay safe,

Hello again
Did you complete yesterday’s special mission? Did you connect with someone outside your home? If not, do it today!
In addition to your home learning, don’t forget that one of the most important things you could be doing at home is reading regularly; ideally, every day. If you’re looking for a book, I would recommend ‘The Boy at the Back of the Class‘.
