Dear Children, Parents and Carers,
Please find below some useful resources that may assist you during this tricky time. I know some of you like colouring and ‘doing’ things, so have a look through these and see if you fancy filling some in. Some require writing, so maybe you will need some help if you find writing hard, but I’d say just do it how you want to – it’s not a spelling test!
I hope you find some of them helpful, please check with an adult before you download or print anything.
I look forward to seeing you all one day again soon,
Best wishes
Mrs McEwan :)
