Welcome to King Arthur‘s Home Learning Page

Hi King Arthur Class

I can’t believe that this is the final week of Year 2. I am very sad that it is not a normal end to the year and that I am not able to see you all and say goodbye, but I have enjoyed teaching you all so much. You have been such a wonderful class and you have all worked so hard. I am so impressed with all of your efforts with home learning and I hope you all have a lovely summer. Good luck in Year 3, I know that you will all be fantastic!!

Phone calls Home – if you require a phone call next week please let me know via the home learning email – thank you.

Mrs Edwards
