  • Activities for Families during Self-Isolation

Activities for Families during COVID-19 self-isolation.

Following the Government's update on Monday 16th March, which stated that:

'If a member of your family or household has a new continuous cough or high temperature, everyone in the household should stay at home for 14 days.'

we are aware that some of our families are now self isolating.

In support of these families and to allow our children, who are well themselves, to continue learning, we have collated a number of activities, packs and web-based games etc

Please click on the links below, under you child's year group and return to this page to access any future updates.

Once you click onto the links to Twinkl resources, you will be taken their website (see screenshot below as an example). You will need to click on the green 'Unlimited Premium Download' button and then a new page will appear asking you to sign up for the free resources. It is free to sign up throughout the COVID-19 isolation.

If you would like any help and support i in accessing the links below please contact the main school office.
