Activities to complete if you are absent from school but well
We have been learning how to make a batter for pancake day. We added the toppings and ate the pancakes! Yummy!
We have had a super time at The Tring Museum. We learnt all about the animals on display and about the Rothschild family who started the collection for everyone to enjoy.

Phonics & reading
At Ley Hill we follow the Read, Write Inc phonics programme. We teach the children to hear, read and blend sounds into words in a systematic way that helps them to develop independent reading skills quickly. Children learn to love reading and become confident, independent readers in no time!
Here are some videos to help develop your understanding of learning to read and how you can support at home.
