Microsoft Teams

Hello,

 

The children have all been assigned a piece of work to their Microsoft Teams account this morning. The reason for this is to ensure that in case we ever have the unfortunate situation of our bubble closing then we are fully prepared. The piece of work which has been assigned is just a test and does not have any significance to what the children are learning in school. We are asking that you can please use the Microsoft Teams logins and log in either tonight or tomorrow with your children to ensure that this process runs smoothly. Please can you make sure that the work is submitted so that the whole process is assessed.

 

There are instructions on the assignment in order to help both yourselves and your children complete the practice piece of work. The children’s logins for Microsoft Teams are stuck in their reading diary. If there are any questions at all then please email me or contact me on ClassDojo

 

Best wishes,

Mr Taylor

Curriculum overview

Good afternoon,

 

Here is the curriculum overview for Rowan class and Maple class:

Autumn half term 2 overview

 

We had a great first half term back in school and it was brilliant to see how the children have all settled back into the school routines. We are really looking forward to diving deeper into our Geography topic of “Earthquakes and Volcanoes.”  Our English book “Escape from Pompeii” fits this topic perfectly and it has been brilliant to have seen the children combining their knowledge from both subject areas.

 

If a child has to self isolate or the bubble closes, remote learning will be provided via Microsoft Teams. There has been a letter which was sent out from Mrs Johnson before half term to explain how this will work.

 

Finally, if you can, please download the Class Dojo app so that we can share any achievements or news regarding your child. A letter has gone out with details on how to sign in.

If there are any questions at all then please don’t hesitate to ask!

 

Best wishes,

Mr Taylor and Mrs Erasmus

Show Racism The Red Card!

We have had a wonderful day in school today raising awareness for the charity Show Racism the Red Card.

The children have all produced some fantastic, thoughtful artwork and we will be sharing some of this with you virtually next week.

We have raised over £100 for the charity so thank you very much for making a donation and taking part!

Wear Red Day – Reminder

Dear Parents/Guardians,

On Friday 16th October, Hazel, Rowan, Maple and Oak will be marking “Wear Red Day” in support of the “Show Racism the Red Card” charity. Each class will be creating pieces of artwork to symbolise the continuing fight against racism and discrimination, and to celebrate our differences.

We are asking the children in these classes to wear something red and bring a £1 donation to the charity. This is going to be a really exciting day for the children, and we are looking forward to seeing the art work that is produced! We will be sharing some pieces of work via a virtual exhibition on the school website on week beginning 19th October.

Thank you

Hello,

I hope that you are all doing ok.

 

Here are the links for Spelling Shed and for Times Tables Rock Stars:

https://www.spellingshed.com/en-gb/

https://ttrockstars.com/

 

The children should all have their logins glued into their reading diary, please let me know if you have any problems at all.

 

Best wishes,

Mr Taylor

Spelling shed

 

Good afternoon,

 

As a school, we have adapted how we will be testing the children on their spellings. This year we will be using the resources on Spelling Shed. This will allow the children to practise their spellings through games and they will have a weekly quiz based on the words they have been practising that week. This quiz will take part each Monday morning.

This morning, the remaining children all received their login details for Spelling shed. These details have been glued into each child’s reading diary. Please do encourage your child to use this site as much as they can throughout the week.

We are still using Times Table Rock Stars and it has been brilliant to hear the stories of the children who have been taking part in this at home. The children should all have their login details for this too. Please let me know if you need another copy.

 

If you need any help with anything at all, please just let me know and I will get it sorted for you instantly.

 

Have a good week,

Mr Taylor

Welcome back!

 

Good afternoon,

We have had a brilliant first week in Rowan class! I have been so proud of how the children have adapted to the new routines and how motivated they have been to work. It has been a thoroughly enjoyable first week.

I just wanted to share with you a few pieces of information for the following weeks.

 

PE

The children will be having PE on Monday and Friday during this term. Please can you make sure that the children come to school wearing their PE kits on these days?

 

Reading book

All of the children have now been given a reading book from the school library. The children will be allowed into the library on Thursday afternoons and will have the opportunity to swap their book if they are finished with them.

 

Timestables Rockstars

The children have been given their logins for Timestables Rockstars and Numbots. The children have all practised these games this week and it would be brilliant if they could play these games from time to time whilst they are at home too.

I hope that you all have a brilliant weekend and I look forward to seeing you on Monday!
