Work for week of : 15/6/20

Hi everyone. I hope you are all keeping well. It is hard to believe we have come to the second last week of term. There is a just a little light optional work included below for any of you brave warriors who have made it this far and who are still going strong ! Any unfinished workbook pages can be completed at your own pace/discretion. Any readers belonging to school can be returned please next September all going well.

This week the school has decided to include the idea of choosing between ‘ Mindfulness Monday ’ which might involve listening to a calming piece of music, doing some relaxing stretches, saying a quiet prayer, thinking about happy times in their lives etc or ‘Family Friday’ which involves enjoying a fun day together whether it be a movie day, family board game, quiz, family bingo /card game or anything else exciting that you can think of . Another day will involve a ‘Tour with Teddy’ (Please bring your favourite teddy and lots of imagination again!)For the final week (Monday to Thursday) the school will upload school links to sports activities in lieu of a Sports DayAs ever if you have any work you would like to send please forward to the school at castlejordan.school@gmail.com and Gayle will forward it to me. If you have any photos you would like displayed on the Whole School website please jot a note to Gayle saying this.

Very best wishes for the week ahead!
