Hello everyone, 

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year! It was lovely seeing a couple of you on Monday however here we go strange times again as we head into another lock down. Below I have added some Maths and English home learning for this week. A letter will be sent out explaining how we are going to be doing home learning from next week (11th January) and how you can access it. 

We miss you all, make sure you stay safe and look after yourselves. Remember if you ever need anything you can email me. I look forward to us all being together again soon.
