Wednesday 3rd February

Good morning children!

I thought we would spend time doing something a little different today. It’s Wellbeing Wednesday and although we can’t be together at school, I thought we could be together in our learning.

Click on this link to enjoy the story…

Learn to read igh words playing this fun game of speed splat.

NB: Parents if this is too tricky, lay out less words.

Can you make your own worry monster at home? Make sure you include a slot or hole to pop a piece of paper in. Here are some ideas...
