Dear Year 1

We are sad not to be working with you in the classroom but please be re-assured that we are thinking of you and ready to help you on our online learning journey.  For the remainder of this week we will post your learning below before we move to our Google class rooms next week, which we are very excited about.  You will shortly receive details about how you log in (remember that we practised this in our computing lessons last half term) and further information about how we will organise your daily tasks.   

In the meantime, if there is anything that you need please don't hesitate to contact us at the following addresses and we will aim to get back to you as soon as we can.
