4th class work
Dear Parents/ Guardians,
We hope everyone is keeping safe and well during this difficult time. Please find some activities below for the boys to complete over the coming weeks.
We would encourage the boys to continue to do other activities that they would not have time to do usually e.g. baking, cooking, gardening. Mrs Roche has uploaded a document with social skills that may be of benefit for this.
