Are we really just about to enter into Week 9 of this term?
I know I say it regularly, but I am continually amazed by the positivity and commitment shown by your children towards their online learning. The virtual classroom would just not have been the same without their continued engagement and enthusiasm, so a very genuine thank you for your continued support from home.
‘Talk for Writing’ have released some great new resources which I have adapted for this week. The ‘Elves’ topic is suitable for everyone, although some children may require support with the activities. I have also released ‘Stone Trolls’ to some children who I feel could cope with a little more challenge. I am happy for these children to work with whichever resource they feel most comfortable with.
We are following up last week’s Information Handling with some work on Carroll Diagrams, Venn Diagrams and Pictograms. The information document should provide all of the details you need.
Reading, Spelling and Basic Facts are all there as usual.
There are lots of fun ideas for indoor health and wellbeing activities this week, so the children can pick and choose from them.
Here is the Google Meet timetable for the coming week too. I’ve got everything crossed that these will run a little bit more smoothly this week, after the problems with my internet connection. If I am cut off I always try to rejoin immediately, although this can take some time as I have to log out completely and log back in again! If I disappear and haven’t come back within 5 minutes I would suggest that the children just abandon the Meet and I will contact them via the stream to rearrange another. The joys of modern technology! It would be great if the children could have something ready to show/share with their classmates.

Thank you!
