During the spring term, in addition to your weekly maths, reading and spelling homework, you MUST have completed at least four tasks, one task from each of the colours plus one additional task from any colour. If you choose to, you COULD complete them all. Please complete two by half term to keep you on track. I look forward to sharing your Home Learning Challenges.
