The packs are designed to last for two week. Please sign the class lists so that we know who has a pack.

Provision in school
The school is now open for Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 6.
Please remember that Reception, Year 1 and Year 6 groups will be closed from 12:00 every Friday to allow for cleaning. The three key worker groups will stay open on a Friday afternoon. Nursery sessions continue as agreed.
If you would like your child to return to school within these year groups on Monday 13th July please contact the office by Wednesday 8th July.

Lunch Collection
Please be aware that lunch collection has been moved from 12:00 to 12:30 until the end of term.
Home learning
Please remember to post examples of home learning onto the new portfolios. For Year 2,3,4,5 and 6 these are in the new year group classes.
If you need help with dojo, help will be available in school to show you what to do.
We do understand how difficult it is to support home learning. We hope these materials help but we only ask families to do their best with their children. Sometimes taking a break is really important. You can always return to learning activities later in the day.
It is also helpful to practise basic skills such as:
• Maths – counting and/or multiplication tables
• A reading activity with an adult or older brother or sister
• Practising spelling or phonics
• A short writing activity
• A physical activity
These can be done in a variety of ways – sometimes without the children even noticing!!
There remain a huge amount or really useful and enjoyable resources available on the internet. These can also be used at any stage. We think the following are particularly helpful:
