Year 3

I hope you and your families had a lovely Christmas and are all doing well. As you may already know, you will not be returning to school as normal on the 7th January unless you are a Key Worker Child.

You will have English, Maths, RE and at least on other activity put onto Seesaw to complete each day and I urge you to complete this work so that you are up to date with the work set.

I hope we can see each other soon and I hope you and your families stay safe.
