Hello Year 3. I hope you are all OK and finding lots of reasons to smile. I have uploaded some of your thankful poems onto the website so you can read them and remember all of the things you are thankful for.
I will upload a blog onto the school website each evening. On the blog will be the work which I would like you to complete the following day.
Last time when we were all off for 2 weeks, I was so impressed with how hard you all worked at home. It really made such a huge difference when we were back in school. I know it is for longer this time, but please try to complete as much of the work as you can while you are at home as it will really help you when we are all back together in school.
Reminders
Please collect an exercise book from the school office to complete your work in, you will be able to bring these into school when we are all back together.
You can also collect reading books from the school office whenever you need to. Please let the office know beforehand so we can get them ready for you.
