Thank you for all the work handed in and done on the different online platforms last week. As always, I appreciate the effort that goes in at home.
Just a note of reassurance for parents of pupils who come into school as part of the Critical Worker Groups – your child does the lesson of the day in Maths and English taught and supported by a TA or teacher, and if they are at home on any days, they can then easily follow on with the next lesson in the sequence. Can I add that I see those children working really hard when they are in. The same organisation of learning will go for children who return as part of our planned Monday – Tuesday/Thursday – Friday bubbles, so it is good for everyone to get into the habit of following the lessons in sequence, as this is how the teaching and learning will run until the end of the year. Of course, children who are at home full time should follow the daily lessons in order, so that all pupils in the class are doing the same lessons, whatever setting they are in.
Some online interactive sessions will be planned in as soon as we can manage this to link up school and home across the curriculum. Please can parents return the Google Meet permission sent out by Mrs. Sadler last week. Thank you to those who have already done this. When we are sure we have the permissions returned, we can begin scheduling some live Google Meet sessions.

Please get in touch if you are having difficulty logging into Lexia at home.

Welcome back to the first week of the second half of our Summer term. I hope you had a chance to enjoy the wonderful sunshine over half term, and you are all safe and well.
Thank you for all the work handed in and done on the different online platforms before half term. I appreciate the effort that goes in at home.
I am gradually changing what is on offer on Google Classroom, so this week we have English based around a story video I have made, and Maths from Oak National Academy, which quite a few classes are using now, which has a teaching video for each lesson and is more like our Maths lessons in school.
From next Monday, 8th June, after some teacher training and preparation time, we will begin the 2 weekly timetables with some online interactive sessions planned in to link up school and home across the curriculum.
Please look in Google Classroom each day to see what work is due in, or is ready to start.

You can find both these tasks in the folder W.B.18 5 20 on Google Classroom.
If you have finished both of those tasks, please spend some extra time reading on MyOn or from books at home. Reading for 15 – 20 min should be part of your daily timetable.
The rest of out English this week is based around the story ‘The Snapdragon Plant.’ I have made a video of the story for you to enjoy. You will need to watch this for your English work. There are 3 lessons in Google Classroom based around the story. The first is a Reading comprehension lesson, the second is a grammar and punctuation lesson, and the third is a Writing task where you need to apply your learning about speech marks.
