Important Information – possible school closure

Dear parents and carers,
I do not want to wait until the PM’s announcement at 8pm tonight before giving you an idea of what will be in place IF we are asked to close our schools. The information below is to help you prepare. Please do not act upon it if we remain open!
Children of Critical Workers in School
We have been asked to prioritise which children come into school during lockdown, as the purpose is to have as few in school as possible. Therefore, please let us know by  tomorrow whether you fit into category 1, where you will automatically be allocated a place. Or Category 2, where we will consider numbers and family circumstances and reserve the right not to offer you a place.
If you are applying for a place on the grounds of category 1A. then please attach proof of your occupations with your request email.  A list of category 1A jobs can be found on the DFE https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-maintaining-educational-provision/guidance-for-schools-colleges-and-local-authorities-on-maintaining-educational-provision
Email the admin address as soon as possible so that we have an idea of numbers.
Category 1:
a)Both parents are Critical Workers for Covid response or EU Transition
b)Vulnerable children
c)Children in care
d)Children with an EHCP
Category 2:
One parent a Critical worker and one parent a key worker
One or both parents key workers, but not covid response
Parent in hospital
Even if you fall into the eligibility for a critical worker’s place, you may still prefer to keep your child at home, and if you are able to do that safely, then we advise it.
Home-learning
Your child’s teacher has had VERY limited time to process this new lockdown and prepare, but work will be provided on the school website class page under the section HOMELEARNING. They may also use Dojo to send you copies of worksheets or photographs of the whiteboard. As the week goes on, we will bring in some face to face teaching. From Wednesday, you will be sent a link to a morning Zoom so your child can register with their class and be told what is expected of them during the day. They will also be expected to join Worship via zoom, and as the week goes on, some other lessons or feedback zooms with their teacher.  There will be more information once we know what is going to happen.

Home Learning – Tuesday 5.1.21

Morning Everyone,

First of all, let me wish you a ‘Happy new year.’

I wasn’t sure whether we would be in this situation again, having to resort to online learning, but here we are again…. I’m really sorry that we can’t all be together again in class but we will be able to organise things a little differently this time and hopefully we can all take part in some live lessons.

For today though, I have put together some links to access the activities that were planned for you to complete in class on your first day back.

Activity 1:

Spelling challenge: How many words can you make by using the letters from

‘Happy New Year Everyone’

1 dojo for every 10 words created and there will be 5 dojos for the longest word created. Send me your lists via class dojo

Activity 2:

English: Watch the video below for an animation called ‘Rooted’. You are going to be writing your own version of this, but for today, I would like you to create a storyboard for the events. Can you divide the story into 8 main parts?

Rooted Animation


Take an A4 piece of paper and divide into 8 sections and then draw an image for each part of the story along with a short description. This will help you tomorrow when we are going to write our own version of this animation. You may also want to think about some of the features of writing you are going to use. Think about what tools makes a good story?

Activity 3:

Maths: Today we are learning about the 11 and 12 x tables.

Below are links to the white rose video for today’s task and the corresponding activity sheets

Video lesson

1 Y4-Spring-Block-1-D1-11-and-12-times-table

Activity 4:

Science: What do you know about electricity? Like at the start of every new topic, we find out what you know and what you would like to know by completing a knowledge harvest. I have also included our new vocabulary sheet to test your prior knowledge of key words for this unit.

Electricity – Knowledge Harvest

Key Vocab

Activity 5:

Topic: Our new topic for this term is the Anglo – Saxons. Again, here we will start by conducting a knowledge harvest and raising some key questions that hopefully we will be to answer as we learn.

Anglo Saxons – knowledge Harvest

You may know very little about the Anglo – Saxons at this point of your learning, so to help you generate some questions, below is a video from BBC Bitesize with some basic information.

Who were the Anglo – Saxons?

Merry Christmas

Dear parents and carers,

We have reached the end of a very long term and I wanted to say a big thank you for all your support and encouragement. We have remained healthy and all the extra precautions we put in place have paid off and we thank you and the children for helping us to accomplish this.

I’m sure that most of you will have seen the wonderful Christmas videos made for you by the children on the class pages. A lot of time and effort and FUN has gone into these, so a big thank you to the staff for their hard work too. We really hope you enjoy watching these as much as they enjoyed putting them together for you.

School is a very magical place at Christmas and we are so happy to have been able to enjoy a lovely week adapting what we usually do, but still making lovely Christmas memories with the children.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas,

Mrs Williams

Christmas Jumper Day 2020

Thank you to all of the children for coming to school in their Christmas jumpers and making us all feel very festive.

We have raised an amazing £61.00 for the “Save The Children” charity.

Thank you

 

A surprise visit…..

This morning a very strange thing happened at school. We were all busy in our lessons, when suddenly the fire alarm sounded. All children and staff sensibly made their way to the playground to stand in their class lines, while we investigated why the alarm had been triggered.

The children were waiting so patiently, and as we haven’t been able to be together as a whole school this term, I thought it would be a lovely idea to really raise the Christmas spirit and sing together. Well, we were half way through ‘Rudolf the red nose reindeer’ when something magical happened….. Something Myddle Magic…

Santa suddenly turned up in a chauffeur driven vehicle. The children were so excited to say the least. We were even able to walk each class around the playground so they could speak to Santa. What an amazing surprise and a lovely way to end the term.

Best Wishes

Mr Glover

Christmas Lunch

Tiger Class had a brilliant time during our bubble Christmas lunch today!

After having wet play and PE in their classroom, the children were very excited but still very well behaved and polite throughout their festive meal.

Christmas Jumper Day – Thursday 17th December

Just a quick reminder that its Christmas Jumper Day tomorrow.

Please send your child in their normal school uniform and their Christmas jumper instead of their school sweatshirt.

All donations raised will go to the Save The Children Charity
