Reception
Summer Half Term
Homework
Thank you for your continued support with holiday homework. We hope your child continues to enjoy carrying out these practical activities with you. This homework includes tasks that recap on work which has been carried out in the classroom as well as work to prepare them for the final theme 'Water'.
Your child can choose activities they would like to do from the following ideas. The tasks can easily be extended if you wish and space is provided for you to write down your child's comments where necessary. We would like your child to bring in anything from these activities to share with the class as we will be discussing them after the holiday. As always, we look forward to hearing the children's thoughts and findings!
Enjoy your holiday and have fun!
