I hope you have enjoyed the long weekend. Welcome back to another week of home learning.
To make home learning as flexible as possible, to fit in with your daily routines, we have created a choice board. The choice board offers 9 different activities as well as free time to explore on your own, over the course of the week. Please see information below for more information about how to use our choice board to plan your learning week.
Have a lovely week.
Kind Regards
Reception Team
