Hello Reception,

Well done for all of your amazing work last week! We hope that you enjoyed learning about African animals! Can you believe that we only have one more week of home learning until half term? This week we have set some phonics, maths, handwriting, RE and topic work.  If you would like to you can also have a go at the optional extra challenges. Don't forget to listen to story and prayer time at the end of the day!

We look forward to seeing all of your wonderful work via the reception email address: reception@st-jo-st.dudley.sch.uk.

Love from,

Mrs Piercy, Mrs Dodd and Miss Meakin x
