Homework:

We have set a history themed project homework. This homework has an extended deadline of the 14^th of October. We have explained to the children the task during our assembly and have sent home an information sheet. We are always so impressed by the creativity of the Year 6 children and we look forward to seeing their efforts.

Maths and English homework is paused during this time, we do not want to overburden the children.
