Please refer to Mrs Ellis’ latest letter about return arrangements to school from Monday 15th June. All parents were previously asked to request a place for their child if they wished them to return to school. Miss Plimmer will have phoned all of the parents for the children that were allocated a space. If you did not request a place and have not received a phone call from Miss Plimmer then your child should not attend school next week. Staff have been working incredibly hard to place children in bubbles and these bubbles can not be amended or added to as they rely on staffing and having an allocated room in the school. This will be reviewed in two weeks time where any increase in numbers can be catered for according to Government guidelines. Please send any requests by email to the school office. It is parents responsibility to read all emails from school to keep updated with all of the changes taking place.
The children in school will be doing the same learning as the children at home. This work will be added to the website each Monday. If you have any concerns about the work then Miss Plimmer will be available on TEAMs each day from 10.00-12.00 for all three classes. As class teachers will be in school every day there will be less oportunity to communicate by email but we will get back to you as soon as we can.
Don’t forget to keep playing on TT Rockstars to improve your recall of Times Table facts. You can play any of the games…
Improve your knowledge of the multiplication and division facts from the 10, 2 and 5 times table in the teacher set areas,
Improve your Rock Status by playing games in the Studio area or challenge a friend to a TT Rockstars battle. Click on the Rockslam area, click on new challenge, then select your class from the drop box on the left and find your friend’s name. Make sure you press ‘start challenge’ at the bottom of the screen. You will play your game first, then it will send the challenge to your friend to play their game. Check in again later to find out who wins!
This week’s CSW Virtual School Games challenge is DANCE! You will have a week to practice and complete the challenges (see below) and enter the competitions through a Survey Monkey link. Results will be announced each Friday via the @ThinkActiveCSW Twitter page at 5pm.
Further information can be obtained from the Thinkactive website and results are recorded through Survey Monkey link (see below). Have a go at the Dance challenges and remember to email some photographs of you taking part. Also remember to record and send your results by Friday 12th June by 1pm at the latest.

We are all so impressed with your commitment to the Home Learning during these difficult times. We have really enjoyed receiving all your emails to let us know how you have been getting on and photographs of work that you are particularly proud of; they really brighten up our day! This week we feel that these children deserve a special mention for all their hard work…
Phoebe W (2AD) for consistent effort and great research and creative work on penguins, Sofia A (2AS) for super dedication to the home learning and a wonderful poem ‘Forest hunt’. Abdul-Haadi (2RM) for consistently hard work every week since school closure. Well done!
Welcome to another week of home learning. Thank you to all those children that have been emailing us with photos, we love to see your work and are very impressed with how hard you are all working. There are a lot of children we still haven’t heard from. Please drop us a message so we can keep in touch. For those that requested a place for their child to come back in to school this term, Mrs Ellis will let you know details this week about an opening date and then you should receive a phone call to let you know details of arrival and departure times and where to drop off and pick up. Currently we are waiting for confirmation from the Local Education Authority and once that has been given to the school Mrs Ellis will be able to update you further. If you no longer need this place then please contact the school to let them know as we are having to group the children in bubbles so need to know how many will be in each one.
This week we would like you to continue on with your Phonic sessions.
Miss Plimmer’s, Miss Warsop’s and Mrs Hollingsworth’s groups should carry on with the Reception learning for the week beginning 18th May to the 22nd May where they will review the sounds already covered.
Miss Jones’ and Mrs Johnson’s groups should follow the learning to blend tab for the 18th – 22nd May
Mrs Towner’s group should follow the Year 1 tab for the 18th – 22nd May
For any of Mrs Towner’s or Miss Warsop’s groups that would like an extra challenge then please have a go with this tricky words booklet. If you can’t print off the booklet then please just try to write the answers where you can in your journal.
This weeks book for Maths is ‘The Princess and the Wizard’. There are some lovely activities that look at pattern, symmetry and doubles. Remember to practise the ‘Doubles rap’ we have added the link to the song on YouTube so that you can become an expert on your doubles. If you like number songs then look for ‘Jack Hartman’ on youtube and he does a wide range of number songs. Go back over your numbers to 100 and your number bonds to 5, 10 and 20.
As we are looking at the ‘Princess and the Wizard’ this week we though we would do some work on traditional tales for our curriculum work. Have a go at these activities.
This would be a good opportunity to read some traditional tales as we would have read different ones every day if we had been in school. There are some traditional tales on the Oxford Owl website so why not have a look at those when you go on to do your reading. Please don’t forget to read. Reading for 10 minutes each day will be the best tool in helping your child to minimise any loss of learning while they have been away from school. We can’t stress enough how this is the most important thing that you as parents can do.
We hope you have a wonderful week and fingers crossed the sun starts to shine again. Keep up all the good work and we look forward to seeing your lovely photos.
