CHALLENGES 
Updated 5th January 2021
Dear Parents,
If your child is looking for some extra challenges during this new lockdown, have a look below at some of the links and activities. You can try them all or one or two that you like the look of! They are just resources I have found that I thought I'd share. I will add more if I find them but won't be updating weekly from now on. Don't forget to check the class pages on the menu too!
If you need any further support, please email me at f.hilton@redhill.bham.sch.uk . Parents can also visit Twitter @redhillprimary1.
