With the news that the school is closing, I thought I’d let you know what we’re planning to do during the closure. Every evening (so long as I am well enough!) I will post some actives for the following day on our Room 2 class page on the school website. I will try to stick to the timetable as closely as possible, to help you to structure the day and provide a variety of activities. The children have been given a Home Workbook in which they can record any of their learning, plus any other activities they would like to share when we return to school.

The activities will include a maths task, English work and a selection of computing, science, reading comprehension, art, French and RE throughout the week.

I will include a weekly spelling list, for the children to practise and encourage reading everyday.

It will also be important to get out and about throughout the day, whenever possible for exercise.

If your child was not here today and you would like to call at school to collect their workbooks, reading books or PE kits, please do so tomorrow.

Lots of good educational websites are helping out at the moment, by providing free resources, some of which are already listed on our website. I will let you know if I discover any others that will be of use to you.

Tomorrow I will contact you all by email, through which the children can write to me or share any photos if they wish.  I will try my best to reply to this wherever possible.

Please just do your best, we appreciate this is a really unpredictable time and every household will have different demands and resources available.  If I post a worksheet, just write the answers into your books, there is no expectation to be printing resources and sticking things in, unless you wish to.  I’m hoping the children will be pretty self sufficient with the tasks and may just need a bit of help finding and understanding the task from the website.

I hope you all manage to stay safe and well.  Please contact me via email if you have any questions and I’ll do my best to help.

Thank you for your understanding.
