Hi Everyone,
We were thrilled to have received lots of wonderful learning last week and know that many of you are working really hard. Here’s some information about the lessons and work that we would like to be emailed.
All of the lessons are in order and build upon each other. Therefore please don’t skip lessons. If you can’t complete your work on the day that it says, then it’s ok to take a break and start from the lesson you got up to. The lessons are staying on Virtual School so it doesn’t matter if you fall a few lessons behind. Work at your own pace in a way that fits in with your family life. If you are unsure about any of the work set them please send us an email and we will be happy to help you.
Maths: You do not need to email the White Rose Maths sheets. It is very time consuming for you and you have the answers to check for yourselves. It is important to do the lessons but you can do this by reading the questions and getting your child to tell you the answer. If you wish to print them out then you can for your own use but we do not need to see evidence of this.We would like you to email us the children’s written responses to the challenges if they get on to them. Then we can give feedback on the children’s answers.
English: We would like to see children’s English work. You don’t have to email us every piece of work but you can if you want and we will be pleased to see it. This again will allow us to give some feedback on the children’s work.
Science and History: Science is a core subject like Maths and English so please try to do these lessons. History is equally as important as it has been carefully planned across the year groups so that each year builds on the next. We would love to see some neatly presented science and history work emailed to us. For all subjects but particularly in Science, there are some activities where we want children to draw diagrams and pictures. Please make sure that the work emailed is your child’s own work. It is ok for parents to show children on a separate piece of paper how to draw these things but the work we receive needs to be your child’s work.
However, we do recognise that we have some very talented artists amongst our parents so thought it would be a good idea to have a section on our blog for you. Each week, if you want to, you can also have a go at these drawing tasks with your children. You show them how to do it and they have a go. Then you can email us both yours and your child’s pictures. It would be lovely to see some parent artwork and I’m sure the children would enjoy having you join in with them too.
We will be blogging learning from the week every Friday. In order to prepared for this, we ask that any work be emailed to us by 3pm Friday. Any work emailed after 3pm will unfortunately miss out of being blogged.We look forward to hearing from you all this week.
Happy learning everyone!
Miss Streeton and Miss Swales
