Rhosymedre Community Primary School – Nursery Home Learning Activities – June 2020

Note for ParentsThe suggested activities below are practical activities for you and your child to enjoy. How and when you do them is up to you and your child. Please do not worry about getting them all completed or if they take longer than a day, that is fine. Choose a time that suits you and your child, this may change from day to day. You will be able to contact myself via email - CrumpN@hwbcymru.net or Seesaw. I will be available to answer any questions between 8.45am and 4.15pm, Monday to Friday. If you want to share any photos, videos or work that your child has done with myself, you can upload it to Seesaw. The most important thing is the health and well-being of your family. These activities should be fun and give you valuable time together to talk, share and create things. Remember, children will still want and need to play during this difficult period.Many thanks, Mrs Crump
