Well what a week! We started back on Monday so full of enthusiasm and dived straight back into our learning. Then we were plunged back into lockdown! On reflection, it was so good that we came together even if just for one day so we could share our Christmas experiences and discuss our hopes for this half term.
Then from Wednesday onwards the majority of us are now learning from home. My priority is to keep the learning the same for the children in school and the children at home so that we can continue to grow together as learners and meet our Year 4 goals. Children will be receiving the same lessons in both settings.
I know how much you enjoy Charlotte’s Web children so we are continuing this and watch out next week to learn the art of persuasion in your English lessons! By the time you have finished you will be SO good at persuading - a valuable life skill! It is also perfect because in maths we are learning multiplication and division skills - you can really master those times tables and be intentional about developing a really good understanding ready for Year 5.
This week has seen us making our New Year’s intentions based on home learning. Thank you for these children - it is lovely to see you looking to the future.
Thank you to those who have been keeping me updated with pictures. I love to see your faces - I miss you all. Please send me more next week - maybe you could take a picture of yourself with your work - double whammy!
Let’s celebrate!
Each week, we will give one certificate to a school learner and one to a home learner. This week I have selected two Bobby Bee learners - whose enthusiasm has been fantastic.
Saul, your enthusiasm for all learning in school has been incredible and you get better and better every day. You are growing into such a mature young man.
Jacob O I can see how hard you are trying with your learning at home even though you miss school. Keep up this hard work and you will continue to grow. Well done young man.
Notices this week:
School learners:
Please wrap up each day. Thermals are a good idea since all the classroom windows are open for ventilation. Two pairs of socks and vests, extra tops etc can go under uniforms.
PE is on Wednesday and Thursday - tracksuits with extra layers! It would be a good idea to bring a pair of trainers in to keep in school for impromtu runs around the field!
Monday is also still recorder for home and school learners - so try hard to remember this for Monday.
Please ensure you have filled in the School learning contract sent last week.
All learners:
You can now quiz at home on Accelerated reader - your targets are set. You can use the link on the ‘help’ section.
No homework set at weekends - have a rest!
Thank you for your continued support. It is so good to be able to stay in contact with you and keep our class together as one, even though it might be virtually.
Please do continue to email us and keep in contact. We are here to help where we can and to keep the children learning.
Take care and stay safe
Mrs Lyons, Mrs Mather and Miss Forster.
