Welcome Back Year 3!
I hope you had a fantastic Half Term and had lots of fun in the sunshine! Thank you so much to everyone that has emailed us to show us their fabulous work and what they have been up to over half term!
As we go back to home learning again, please can we reassure parents/carers that the home learning is there to support your child but is not meant to be overwhelming or stressful. Our main priority is that the children are happy and have good health - both mentally and physically - and will be adding some wellness and mindfulness activities to our pick and mix page in the coming weeks to help with this. If you are finding that the work online is getting too much then please just do what you can or have a day off from home learning. We are here to hopefully support you through this difficult time so please do not hesitate to email us if you need any help or support.
You can still do the Half Term History Project!
When you are walking around Walthamstow we would like you to look out for an interesting building, take a photo of it, make a note of the location of the building (what street it's on) and when you get home write about what you noticed and try to do some research about the building - if it is old, how you can tell and what clues you can find out about its past.
Then email us with what you saw and what you learned, including photos and drawings if you can.
You can find more information about the project and full details about what we would like you to do, with an example, using the link (words in green) below.
If you have not yet sent in your project, you can still send it in and we would love to see them.
We are all missing you so much and hope that you have a good return to home learning!
Stay safe,
Miss H, Miss F and Mrs Allen
