Ideas for the Easter Holidays

Good morning Class 2.  We hope you are all keeping well and have enjoyed your weekend.  Now it is the Easter Holidays we won’t be setting daily home learning tasks but if you would like to keep to your new routine of the past two weeks over the next two weeks here are a few suggestions for activities you could try.  Reading for pleasure is a great way to escape into a world of imagination with some of your favourite characters.  Re-read your favourite books that you already have at home – many of them will have quizzes if you have an ARP login.

Perhaps you would like to start your day with a workout with Joe Wicks every morning at 9am:

If you would like to continue with some maths then head over to White Rose for a daily dose:
