Hi Parents,

In this last few weeks of term, you will find a different format to the Weekly Schedule.

We know that you are probably enjoying the fine weather and that there can be less structure to the home/school day.

Indeed, we totally want you and the kids to be outside as much as possible- learning and appreciating the world around us.

For this reason, we will suggest a booklet to choose each week in Numeracy and Literacy and suggest you work through part of it each week. You don’t have to complete the work in each book entirely as there will be plenty of opportunity in the rainy summer days where you can refer your child to the books to complete work.

Hope all this makes sense and you are happy enough to follow a less structured approach!!

We have also included some ideas for water play through capacity activities. Sand play also fulfils these learning opportunities and are great activities for completing in the outdoors.

So keep healthy and safe and enjoy the last few weeks of home/school term.

Take care

Mrs Canavan & Mrs Fyffe
