Dear Parent/ Guardian,
I hope that you and all the family are keeping well at present. I am updating a list of work which the children can complete before the Easter holidays. I am aware of the pressures that we as parents are facing at present and in no way want to add to this stress. Therefore, the work that I am including is only a suggested scheme of work. Do as much as you feel your child is able for and leave it at that. I was delighted to hear from parents that the children are enjoying walks up the hillside, playing board games, enjoying books, helping out with jobs at home etc.
Thanks to all the parents who forwarded an email address to me so far. You can contact me should you have any questions. mskenneallysnc@gmail.com
