Remote Learning, Term 3
Year 1 Home Learning Schedule
Dear Students, Parents and Carers,
During the time you keep your children home, here are both some expectations and suggestions to maintain daily learning. Please ensure that you only complete the expected task for the core areas of Reading, Writing, Spelling and Mathematics for each day (along with any of the Optional Tasks from the weekly rubric or Library & I.C.T. Planner). Please do not skip ahead in the Sound Waves or Handwriting text books as will include in our planners when these are to be completed. Please be aware that we have significantly reduced the time normally spent in class and want you to enjoy spending this time together. The work to be completed should take the students around 2-3 hours per day. Please also do some regular exercise each day.
