Dear Parents,
Below please find some written work for the children to complete between Wednesday the 18th of March and Friday the 27th. It would also be helpful for the children to revise their tables and spellings from previous weeks. Practising active maths such as time telling and money would be helpful too. Play games such as ‘shop’ with money (using 1c, 2c, 5c, 10c and 20c coins).
