Dear Parents,

As you are aware school will be closed for a while now. The well-being and academic progress of my class is of paramount importance to me whilst the children are off. A routine is especially vital to ensure happy children who feel secure so please refer to the suggested timetable that school has issued. This allows for periods of learning, exercise etc. School has also issued suggested websites that your child may wish to use in their learning time. As far as learning in year 6 is concerned please refer to the list of activities below and try to make sure that your child is using a variety of these in their day to help their learning be fun and engaging. Although the SATs tests have now been cancelled it is still vital to continue your child’s education so that they can access the curriculum in high school without gaps in their learning. Teacher assessment will, as usual, be sent to the high schools concerning your child’s attainment in year 6 instead of SATs test marks.

Thank you for your support, I will keep in contact as much as possible,

Mrs Potts

Your child’s log-in to access times table rock stars and purple mash learning sites are also included for you to use if you have access to the internet.
 

READING

– please ensure your child has finished reading Goodnight Mr Tom which they received at Christmas. They also have some other library books from school and can of course read any of their own books for pleasure.
 

Newsround (CBBC)

– we watch this via the internet everyday in class and it is a great way for your child to be informed about the world in an appropriate manner for children. There are lots of other resources on the website and discussion about all these topics can be valuable learning.

Chatter Chums

At this difficult time there are many lonely people and our Chatter Chums might especially be feeling this loneliness while their friends and relatives are unable to visit them at their residential home. Maybe you would like to write a letter to your chatter chum, make them an Easter card or draw them a picture. These can be dropped off at school or you can send them to Mrs Potts via email and we will make sure that your chatter chum receives them. I am sure this would bring a smile to their face and brighten up their day!

Take a look at Mrs Hewitt's Mindfulness and Music section for some great ideas!

Mrs Potts

Well done to everyone working at home. We've had some great pictures of home learning!  Zakir working on his My Maths. Poppy has created a volcano picture and a picture of the last ever walk she went on with a descriptive sentence. She has also helped her brother Eddy with his drawing of the Continents too!  Zaara has even made her own timetable! She's completed a piece of creative writing and an earthquake picture. 

Keep the pictures coming!
