Welcome to Barn Owls

 

Miss Jones and Mrs Laurence-Wing

 

During our school closure we will endeavour to add up to date information to support you with your home learning routine. Below are links to each subject and here you will find folders for each with with specific work that can be done. On each subject page, there are also links to websites and documents that are suitable for ongoing learning.

 

Home learning packs have been sent home for many children. For those who were not in school to receive them before Friday 20th March we will be unable to deliver these due to government restrictions about unnecessary journeys outside.

 

We have added plenty for you to get started with during your home learning experience on to this website and will continue to do so. Please check regularly for new material.

 

Thank you in advance for your support in your child's learning during these unprecedented times.
