Out of School Learning

Dear parents & carers of a wonderful Y4 child,
As you are aware, Sheffield schools will be closed for a short period due to the Coronavirus (COVID- 19). We want to minimise the impact this will have on your child’s learning so we have put together this bank of ideas to ensure your child will continue learning and consolidating their understanding whilst being away from school. In addition, we would ask that you access theactivities that have been set here on a daily basis by Mrs Hill (Mon to Fri on normal school days).
