Ms. Healy's home learning 8th - 12th June

Hi girls and boys,

I hope you all had a lovely week. We got a mixture of summer and winter with the weather this week so make sure you get outside any day that it is sunny and make the best of the good weather! I called to some of your homes this week with your school books so almost everyone has them at this stage. If you don't already have your books you can contact me and I'll arrange to get them for you.

I've posted your work for the week below - as usual it is just a suggestion of work so don't feel under pressure to do it all. Be sure to keep up the great work with your reading and do a little bit of writing and Maths. Get outside in the fresh air and get your 60 minutes of exercise each day.

Thanks to those who got in contact this week, it is always so lovely to hear from you. If you haven't been on to me in a while then send me a message to let me know how you are and what you've been up to! You can contact me on Class Dojo or on my email: jennifer.healy@warrenmountprimary.com

Have a great week,

Ms. Healy
