Hi everyone, 
I have put up the work for the week. There's some phonics, handwriting, reading and maths to complete during the week. Please split up the work in a way that suits the needs of your family. I have also added some fun activities for the week. These are for your enjoyment, please feel free to complete them whenever you wish. Please keep sending me on your work and I will post some examples on Friday. Have a great week!

​
