IMPORTANT INFORMATION: PLEASE READ BEFORE WEEK 5

Hi everyone,

Welcome back to our home learning page! I hope you were able to make the most of the lovely weather over the Easter break and had fun taking part in the Swansfield Easter competition.

I don’t know about you, but I am still getting used to this new way of teaching and learning. I am aware that it must be tricky when some of you as parents will continue to be out working and working from home as well as maybe looking after elderly relatives and neighbours. We as a school appreciate all of your efforts. We are also aware of the importance of the physical, social and emotional well-being of the children as well as the importance that their learning continues as best as possible. From this week, I will be setting 5 English tasks and 5 maths tasks as well as a topic-based task (this could be related to science, history, geography or art). Some of these activities will be familiar to you, for example Timetables Rockstars, learning weekly spellings or completing Big Maths sheets. But overall, there will be more for the children to get their teeth into to keep their brains ticking.

I have loved hearing from you and the children while we have been home learning and seeing what they have been up to. I am able to see who has been accessing Timetables Rockstars and activities set on Frog Play, however with other activities I am not able to see all of the fabulous work the children have been doing unless it is emailed to me. Therefore, so that we can make sure children are accessing the other set activities, we ask that you email 2 activities to me each week. On the learning page, I will let you know which tasks I would like you to email. I can then give the children feedback on their work as well as allocate School 360 points and certificates. I will also add work to our ‘Home Learning Gallery’.

We fully appreciate that these are very difficult times and keeping well, safe, positive and as happy as we can remains the top priority. With all of this in mind, we thank you for all of your support and if you have any questions, concerns or queries, please email me: katie.moffet@school360.co.uk .

Stay safe,

Miss M
