Here is some very important work to do this week!
We are really keen that all pupils remain safe online – we are aware that some may be using their devices more than usual to do homework and keeping in touch with friends and family.
Here are some links to guide children and parents and carers in staying safe online:
What do you need to do if you need to report something?
Thank you for completing the work set by your teachers – we recognise that it is also great to keep busy with other activities. Hopefully the following activities are useful during the next week:
Joe has been busy with Scratch lately – as you will know! He has sent us the link to play his times tables game!
Remember, if you have created some content on Scratch and would like to send it to me, please send it via the school admin email address!
Thanks George! George has been keeping up his writing this week – he has completed the Easter writing activity I set earlier in the week! It’s a great read, George!
I am sure he won’t mind me sharing it – please remember that you can all send work in to me via Mrs Winwood’s email address!
Whilst school is closed, Audible are offering children the chance to listen to some FREE books! There is a wide range available at https://stories.audible.com/start-listen

Please find the necessary links for access to work for our pupils:

In addition to the work provided above, there are some resources available to supplement any work from school:
Classroom Secrets have produced some worksheets designed to keep pupils busy during any school closures. They are designed to be printed off, but they may also be used ‘on-screen’ with pupils writing their answers in their exercise books and parents checking them using the answers provided! There is a link on this page to each year group with plenty of work to do! No password is required.
Twinkl is offering every teacher in United Kingdom access to all Twinkl resources with a One Month Ultimate Membership, totally free of charge. They are also extending this to every parent and carer in the school so the pupils can still have access to high-quality learning during any periods of disruption.
Setting this up is really easy to do – go to www.twinkl.co.uk/offer and enter the code UKTWINKLHELPS
Please use these ideas to supplement any work allocated by your child’s teacher:
