The following links to websites will also allow your child to continue with their learning at home. Some websites may require personal passwords which have already been sent home with your child. There are also worksheets here that you can download – you don’t always need a printer, just write down any answers on paper instead. If you hand in work on Purple Mash, you’ll get a message from Miss Edwards!
