Welcome Back

We hope you have had a safe and restful half-term break. We have decided to slightly change the way we are posting learning for you to do at home. As many more parents and carers return to work, we thought some may find it easier to have the week's learning in advance to give to children and to help prepare them for the week ahead.

Below is this week's learning. There is a black and white version of the overview should you need to print it and a PDF to open with more detail on the learning for the children to use. If you have any questions, feel free to use help@abbeywood.worcs.sch.uk and we'd love to see your work at beech@abbeywood.worcs.sch.uk as before.

Year 4 Storytelling and Get-Together

The new tech is still not up and running. 

We are now no longer using Zoom, as we have been advised there could be safety issues.

For now, enjoy Harry Potter by following the link on our class page, and check out the story readings of some great books below.

Hopefully we will see you live online again soon.
