Spring 2 week 1 

Welcome back to what will hopefully be our penultimate week  of home learning. 

Spring 1 Week 6

Its nearly half term and I continue to be amazed by the outstanding efforts of some of the children this week. Their hard work and kindness is a very positive reflection on their parents, the school and most of all themselves. From brilliant models, great maths, fantastic pictures and surperb writing to pupils helping each other with the work and hints and tips on how to work with teams. You should all be very proud.  

Next week - Please note It would be great if you had some play dough, salt dough, plasticine or similar for Thursdays Art lesson.

Here is the plan for Next week - all work is set through teams.

Students - Please join us at 9.15 for your daily brief.  

Many of you join at 9 am for a chat and that is great. 

 Remember if you miss the meeting please drop in later in the day to say hello and any time if you want some help. (Or a chat) 

 Spring term 1 Week 5

Week 5 already can you believe it. Here is the draft timetable for this week.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your patience with the bugs, glitches and other issues we are still experiencing occasionally. I am really delighted to see the children helping each other on the chat and also very grateful to those of you who let me know when things are not working.

Just a note  – next week it would be great if the children had some modelling material like salt dough, clay or plasticine this is not essential but if available will make our History/Art work more fun. Salt dough is quite cheap to make but I understand that not everyone is in a position to make this.

Week 5

Lock Down 3 - Week 4

Welcome to another week. I am so proud of Y4.  I am now regularly seeing most children most days - Some children I see several times a day and that is absolutely OK. Remember if you can't make the 9.15 call you can join later and if not please let the office know by email so I can track attendance. 

Most children have really got to grips with home learning and are writing on their devices or sending me photos of their work. Please remember I am happy to try and help with the technical stuff but the class is developing its own little experts and its great to see them helping each other. 

Here is the timetable for this week

Week 3  Week Beginning 18^th Jan

Thank you to those of you who picked up your pack and to those who said they would not need one. If you wanted a paper pack and didn’t collect it then please contact the office by email to make an arrangement to collect it. The office staff are mostly working remotely so email is the best way to contact the school at this time.

We are learning so much about remote education at the moment and things will continue to change and improve as we keep working this way. Many thanks go to the children and parents who are sharing tips and tricks through our morning meetings.

We are expecting to see every child, every day as we would in school. The main way to do this is to be on the morning meet. If you can’t make this meeting, because of clashes with other meeting for instance, please come on later. The call is usually open to 10.30. Then my maths support lesson from 11 – 12 and after lunch 1-3. Children are welcome to come on and ask for help whenever and there are many who do. If you are having other difficulties or your child is unwell, please contact the office.

Suggested Timetable for week 3 – The timings are suggestions to help parents -  if  they haven’t finished the task in that time consider stopping. If they finish much quicker than that they probably lack quality or depth in their answers.  Please don’t battle -  contact me for advice.

All assignments are set on Teams.

Welcome to Week 2 of Spring Term  2021

 Wow Wow Wow! 

Our learning has  been  online for most Year 4 pupils and this has mainly been  through Microsoft teams. The children have coped amazingly well (and so have most of the adults.) If any of you are secret teams wizards please let us know of any tips you have.  This is an exciting opportunity for us, but all technology has its difficulties – please be patient with us as we get to grips with it.

We want to keep children’s wellbeing and learning at the centre of what we do so please don’t get too worried and always ask for help – someone will know the answer(probably). 

 Our Teams Check in is at 9.15AM   All Children are expected to check in .

If you miss the 9.15 meeting please join as soon as you are able.

I will be posting other meeting throughout the day for children to share their answers and ask for help with specific assignments - these are not compulsory, please join if you wish.
