Hi Super Squirrels,
I hope that you are all staying safe and keeping busy. It’s been really great to hear what some of you have been up to.
As well as adding activities for this week, I have also added an example timetable which you may find useful to follow or adapt. There is also a blank timetable so that you can fill out your own.
Some of us find it helpful to structure out the day, so its there if you want it – hope it helps.
Keep the photos coming in and I’ll hopefully see you all soon.
Also, have a lovely half term break – hopefully, the sun will be out for us!
Missing you all,
Best wishes, Mrs Robinson

As always, there is no expectation to carry out all of the tasks for the week, so feel free to dip into the resources and have a go!
From both websites, you can also access the home learning for Year 1 and Year 2 – if you are struggling with Year 3 then have a go at previous class activities to build your confidence. We don’t want anyone to be struggling.
