Dear Everyone,
Remember home school is not the same as being in class together so try to create yourself a daily routine that works for you and your household. Don't worry if you can't do things each day choose activites from the task cards that you can complete with your family.
It is important to learn new skills too, maybe learn to sew, cook, bake, create, learn a song even try to learn some Spanish or French !
Quiet time is important too and give yourself time to relax and to also make time for some exercise in your garden or daily walk with your own family.

You all have a Sumdog, Prodigy and Active Learn account where you can continue with maths activities.
SEESAW might be easier for you to upload your work or photographs.

LEARNING LOGS
We use Learning Logs to make homework more fun and to encourage children to extend and consolidate the learning that has taken place in school in a more creative and independent way. Each pupil has the freedom to express their understanding in any way they like – they may choose to draw a picture or a mind map or a piece of writing.
Use the internet to help you with research and ideas but lots of printed sheets (with some difficult words) won't help you to present to your group.
Useful things, felt pens, coloured pencils, post-its, glue, scrap paper the list is endless !
Homework is an extension of school work so don;t forget our presentation target
Here are some examples of ways to present your work. You will need to talk about your work and what you have found out so you will need to be able to read it.
