Weekly Learning
Tuesday 2nd June - Friday 5th June
The learning on our website will presented a little differently this half term. We will be uploading maths, phonics and a literacy challenge every Sunday as before but our theme challenges will be uploaded throughout the week rather than on a menu of activities. There will be 2 to 4 activities each week, with each one building on the previous work. We suggest starting with the first activity and working through them in order but we understand that it may not be possible to complete all of them at home so please do not feel under any pressure to do so.
