Hi everyone!
I hope this finds you all safe and well and a huge thank you to you all for your support this week. I completely understand how difficult it is trying to manage work and home schooling but, by learning from home, we are really playing our part at fighting this horrid virus and trying to minimise as many people as possible from getting it, especially the vulnerable members of our community. I also applaud those of you who have had no choice but to go out there and continue to work - please stay safe!
From Tuesday, you will see on the Distance Learning tab on the home page of our school website, that there is a timetable. This will mirror exactly what we are learning in class and also mirrors the routine that the children are used to. Please take a moment to look through the links before Tuesday so that you are prepared. The RWInc lessons will be exactly the format the children are used to in class and they can access these lessons independently. The children will need their white board and pen and/or their writing book and pencil. Use items from around the house or kitchen to assist Power Maths. The My Learning Buffet mirrors the continuous provision that the children choose from in class. Please feel free to add any ideas of your own.
In Reception, we do not intend to send weekly packs home because we want to minimise the footfall on the school grounds;everything you will need for home learning will be on the Distance Learning tab. Email me if you have any questions.
Next week - w/c 18/01/21 I will be setting up small group zoom chats. Please send me the email address you would like me to send the invite to. I intend for this to be a weekly meet, you will have a time slot and day that will be the same each week. It will be at 3:40pm for approximately 15 minutes so that myself, Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Hibberd can be present.
I have had a few emails about book recommendations for children that are beginning to read.
I would Google or go on Amazon and look for book sets aimed at 5-7year olds and that are Early Reader ones so that they can access them independently. Try Usborne, Penguin, Ladybird, DK, Songbirds. Julia Donaldson does Early Readers, the Rainbow Fairy Early Readers may appeal to some children, Horrid Henry also does an Early Reader collection, also you may try Traditional Tale Early Readers as children already know the story so this would help with confidence. Songbirds books are phonic books and also children love the Biff and Chip collections too.
We have really enjoyed seeing the learning going on at home and especially your happy faces!
We miss you all!
Mrs. J, Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Hibberd
