This week we will be marking Armistice Day in school in a variety of ways, including visiting the war memorial in St Mary's churchyard at 11am on Wednesday to pay our respects to those who died in the World Wars.
Below are some activities that you can do at home on Monday to help prepare for our class work. In addition, please spend some time reading your school reading book, practising this week's spellings on Spelling Shed (or using the activity sheet in your homework book if you cannot access the internet) and, practising your times tables. |
