Home learning activities for this week: Please note- when you log in to Education City all of the resources for this week have been placed into a folder called 'WB 23.3.2020' meaning you don't have to hunt for each activity.
Children should complete one maths, one writing and one reading activity each day.
(If any parents would like additional activities, please check the main home learning page for links to websites with free resources. Keep encouraging your children to read as much as possible)
