Information and support for parents
We are now using ClassDojo to connect with families, share classroom moments, and provide class timetables with some activities that could be done at home. It is a really useful way of communicating with your child’s teacher. Please join: You can find out what to do here.
The following links and downloads will also allow your child to continue with their learning at home. Some websites may require personal passwords which have already been sent home with your child. If you hand in work on Purple Mash, you’ll get a message from Miss Edwards!
