Whilst the school is closed, it is important that the children continue with their learning. This sheet has a timetable outlining which work should be completed on each day. We appreciate your support in this unique situation and

look forward to seeing your finished pieces.

We have allocated a mixture of practical activities as well as activities that can be found on the purple mash website. When it is a purple mash activity it will be clearly marked if you log into your child’s log in on the corresponding day

the task will appear in the to-do section of the home screen.

English- Children to use phase 2 and 3 sound mat to support them, children to sound out and blend independently (unless need support) children to write the sounds they can hear phonetically. The words do not need to be spelt correctly as long as long as the phonic sound used is plausible for example if your child writes cake like this ‘caik’ we would not correct them as they have used a phoneme to represent the ‘a’ sound.
