Castle School

 

Planning  – Updated week beginning 1.3.21 Our topic is ‘Space and Colour’ this half term

Please feel free to use some of the suggested timetabled home learning resources with your child/ children at home. I fully understand that not all of the suggestions may be suitable for you to access or complete. I just hope that they will be of some use during these uncertain times to help you create your own home learning ideas and for your child to engage with some familiar school timetabled tasks. There is no right or wrong order or way complete the daily tasks.

Best wishes

Michelle
