Remote Learning

Teachers will set weekly tasks for the pupils in each year group to complete. In each year group, set tasks are likely to include activities to develop skills in Reading, Writing, Phonics/Spelling, Science and/or Topic work. For some tasks, answers may also be provided so that pupils and parents can self-mark the work.
