Access home learning resources for week beginning 20th April HERE...

Hello to all our Reception children and families! We hope you enjoyed the Easter break and managed to make the most of the glorious weather!

Below you will find some suggested planning for home learning. We've also attached here some resources that are mentioned in the plan should you wish to use them. Do remember that these are suggestions, and that we are not expecting children to complete all the tasks that are set. Use the plans flexibly to suit your timetable.

Remember that exercise is important too - the children of key workers have been keeping up with Joe Wicks in the mornings... the adults have been attempting to keep up too! Or perhaps try a little Cosmic Yoga. Don't forget to log in to your new online reading accounts on the Pearson website (log in information to be shared with you on Monday 20th April).

Please contact us using receptionbps@welearn365.com with any questions or photographs of home learning you would like us to share on the school website.
