Dear Parents, Carers and Children,

We hope that you are all keeping safe and well. The links below are shortcuts to pages that consist of resources for Mathematics and English.

- Mathematics: https://www.st-gregorys.sandwell.sch.uk/page/detail/mathematics-remote-learning

- English: https://www.st-gregorys.sandwell.sch.uk/page/detail/english-remote-learning

You will also see links to three key websites that your class teachers may have already directed you to in previous periods of closure/isolation. They will remain on this page as a shortcut, as it is likely they will refer to these platforms for future learning.

We appreciate that circumstances for learning at home are difficult for some, so whilst we do hope that you continue your learning and try your very best during your period of isolation, we also understand that an 'as and when' approach is more realistic for some of you. As a priority, we urge you to keep reading and working on the recall of your number bonds and times tables.

We look forward to seeing you back in school very soon and will be on hand should you need our support via our school email system!

Take care and God bless,

The staff of St Gregory's
