This was the only part of the schedule we completed today. Instead we got lots of toys out, made brownies and shortbread (linked to our cafe project) and banned screen time entirely from 9am to 4pm even during breaks.
So as you can see, a much more varied week as we were more relaxed with our routine and sessions were shorter to try to keep some positivity.
I intend to do some spelling and times tables practice over the two weeks of Easter holiday. How have you been getting on and what do you plan for Easter?
