Year 4
Welcome back to Term 6! We hope you all managed to have a restful half term break.
Thank you all for continuing to engage with the home learning for the last two terms. It has been lovely to see all of your hard work and to see all of the great things you have been doing at home. As you are aware some children will be returning to school and in preparation for this we have created a social story for you to share with your child/ren. It will hopefully help to prepare them for the changes they will see once they are back to school. Please see the attachment below for the 'Welcome back Social story for Year4'
We will continue to correspond with you via See Saw and our year 4 email address. Please also continue to use the links/activities/ideas below: new activities have been added. Remember, this is not an expectation but it is useful to continue to develop the basic skills and reading during this time.
Just a reminder that Miss Howard and Miss Ciantar are still on maternity and Mr Fenna will will be responding to Butchart classes emails/work.
Please make sure children continue to wash their hands regularly. Here is a NHS guide: How to wash your hands properly
