In school, we will be holding a minute’s silence to remember the bravery and pay tribute to the NHS workers who have sadly died during the virus pandemic.
We will be holding the silence at 11am, but if you can’t do it then, you could do it with your family later today.

We feel that children work best when they have a routine. The Education Endowment Foundation have released a document which might help you plan your day for your child – this will help them keep mentally active, with goals to work towards.
You could print this or even use it as inspiration to create your own!

To Choose the correct level use the letters and sounds levels.
Here is what has been covered in letters and sounds lessons
Reception are confident with phase 2 and have covered phase 3 once (it is recommended that it is covered twice). Children in reception can read the phase 2 books and the phase 3 books with support
Year 1 are confident with phase 4 and phase 5. Some Children will be going onto phase 6
Year 2 can read phase 5 and phase 6 and above.
Remember if you child is reluctant or struggling go back a phase to gain confidence.
We hope this helps with reading and phonics

Every year the National Association of Teachers of R.E. hold an art competition called Spirited Arts and this year we were going to take part as a school. As we can no longer do that, I am attaching the details of the competition in case anyone would like to create an entry at home. There are a number of themes on which your art could be created. These are judged in different age groups and the winners get themselves an Amazon voucher!
Full details can be found here: https://www.natre.org.uk/uploads/Spirited%20Arts/Spirited%20Arts%202020%20competition%20details.pdf and examples of previous year’s entries can be seen here: https://www.natre.org.uk/about-natre/projects/spirited-arts/spirited-arts-gallery/2019/
If you do create an entry, please send it into the school office so we can send the school entries in together.
Happy creating!
Mrs Gregory
