All of the children brought home their new homework books and folders this afternoon. As mentioned in my induction video, home learning is to be returned to school on Thursdays. New homework will then be given on Fridays on a two week cycle;

One week will be written and sheet based. These will be given in the homework folders on a Friday and should be stuck into homework books and completed before being handed back in on a Thursday to be marked.
The second week will be online based activities. This will allow for home learning books to be quarantined for 48 hours before being marked.

This week’s home learning:

It would be great if home learning books could be backed with wrapping paper, sticky back plastic, etc, so that they can withstand being transported to and from school for a little longer. These should still be able to fit inside the home learning folder provided.

As I have only been able to meet you all from afar, I have asked the children to draw a picture of their families in their home learning books. This will help me to get to know you all a little better.

The children should have brought home two log in cards in their home learning folders - one for Purple Mash and one for IXL. These cards are to be kept at home. I would like the children to have a go at logging into both IXL and Purple Mash this week. How quickly can they do it? Can they do it without looking at their log in cards? Feel free to have a play on both Purple Mash and IXL and become more familiar with it.

I look forward to collecting home learning folders in on Thursday.
