Home-School Assignments

Class Level: 4th Class B (Ms Roberts)

Week Beginning: Monday 30th of March

Dear 4th Class B,

I hope you and your families are keeping well. I am missing you all very much. With the work bank this week I’ve tried to establish a normal school routine where possible, continuing on with our spellings and tables. I don’t want anybody to feel under pressure as I understand that people have their own challenges to face. This work bank is just a guide and you can choose what works for your family, so please do not feel under any pressure to complete everything. Just do what you can. Don’t worry if you have left a particular copy or book in school. You can use a different copy/piece of paper to complete activities or move onto an activity you can complete. Work with what you have. Those of you who do complete spelling tests and any projects I’ve set will be rewarded when we return to school with stickers, pom poms and homework passes. Again, like last week, there are some fun challenges and competitions available for you to complete/enter as you wish. Your hard work will definitely be acknowledged when we return as I know how hard it can be trying to remain disciplined during this time. Well done to all of you so far. You are doing so well and keep up the hard work. I hope you all have a lovely Easter! Below is a list of optional challenges and if you scroll down your weekly work bank is underneath.

Take care of yourselves and stay safe,

Ms Roberts
