  • Home Learning...

    Published 06/05/26, by Clare Maksymczuk

    The children have all received a home learning pack containing the activities listed below. Please ensure your child scans the QR codes to complete their phonics learning and reads their phonics book regularly.

    Each pack also includes counters and a ten frame for the children to use when playing the maths games, helping to develop their understanding of numbers to 10.

    As part of a whole-school competition, we would also like the children to complete the writing activity about children’s rights. The paper and picture prompts are included in the pack and can also be downloaded below.

    Please return all home learning by Friday. We would also love to see photographs of the children completing their maths learning at home — please email any photographs to enquiry@hawthorn.bham.sch.uk
