Happy Easter holidays everyone! 🐣🐣 I hope that everyone is keeping well. I hope you all have a lovely Easter break with your family! Myself and Pauline miss you all very much and look forward to schools opening again!

I will not be putting up work for the next two weeks as it is now the Easter break. If you would like to email me the work you have completed or ask for the Seesaw code and upload work for me to see then please do that. My email is msquinn2020@gmail.com

Stay safe,

Week of 30/3/20
I hope that everyone is well. I have enclosed a list of suggested work activities to complete at home. Please complete as much as you can- I do not expect all the work to be done. I completely understand that it is not easy for children to settle down to do work at home.
I have enclosed different work activities- worksheets, printable games and websites. These can be printed off and completed or the answers can be written down in a copybook. You can also make your own word or sum games by writing out the games on paper or cardboard!

Dear Parents and Children,

In this pack, I included English, Maths and SESE worksheets. I also provided names of websites which might be useful to you.
Literacy
Please continue to revise sounds, tricky words and dolch words. Encourage your child to write their daily news and to write short stories also. Please encourage your child to read. Oxford Reading books can be accessed via the link at the bottom of this page. Please listen to your child reading and ask simple comprehension questions. E.g. Who are the characters in the story? What is the plot? What do you think will happen next? Does this story remind you of another story you have read? You can also access our class reading book ‘Two Little Frogs’ via the link and instructions below.
Maths
Practise counting to 100 forwards and backwards. Continue counting in 2s, 5s and 10s to 100 forwards and backwards. Please continue counting in 10s from 1-91 up to 10-100 forwards and backwards. Please practise simple addition and subtraction sums to 20 and beyond. Revise 2D shapes, 3D shapes and the time also. You can access our Busy at Maths book via the link and instructions below.
Wellbeing
