Please stick to this timetable of learning so that we can talk about our learning in the Zoom call at 2pm each day.

The link for the Zoom call will be emailed to parents the evening before. It is really important that you attend the Zoom call every single day. If you are struggling to access Zoom, please make sure you contact me or the office. Whilst on Zoom we will be marking your Maths from that morning, addressing any areas you have struggled with and going through the Maths for the next day. If you are struggling with the Maths, take a look at the Strengthen Activities, these will support your learning.
