Hi Foxes,

I can't believe we are on week 4 of home learning already!  You are all doing amazingly well and I am so proud of you all.  I love seeing all of the things you have got up to during your time at home so keep the photos coming :-)

This week, I have broken down home learning day by day.  I thought this might help you to structure your days BUT you can do as much or as little as you like each day.  The only rule is that you must do them all in order.

There is also some extras for you to complete at any time during the week and these can be done at any time during the week.

I have added some videos of me to help with your learning this week, just click on the link.

As always, if you have any questions about your learning then send me an email and I will be happy to help.

Take care,

Mrs Bird
