SCHOOL CLOSED

SCHOOL CLOSED TODAY:

The school will sadly be closed today due to staff shortages and the icy conditions on the side roads and lanes affecting safe travel. Many teachers have tried this morning but are unable to get to school.

Remote learning will continue with as many Zoom lessons as possible, starting with Worship at 9am.

Sunday 24th January, 2021

Road outside School

There is a blocked drain opposite the school building, it appears to be being looked at but there is a significant amount of water on the road and pavement.

Please be careful as you approach school.

Sunday 24th January, 2021

Weather update 7pm

WEATHER UPDATE 7pm:
We are planning to be open as usual tomorrow, including breakfast club.
If anything changes or we are advised to close we will let you know by 7:30am
Please email the school office if you can’t get your child in or if you have booked breakfast club but no longer need it. Many thanks.

Friday 22nd January, 2021

Well done!

At the end of week three of home learning, we just wanted to say a huge well done to you all. We know it is not easy – we have lots of staff here in the same situation so we really do empathise with how hard it is!

Don’t be hard on yourselves or your children if you didn’t understand or couldn’t keep up. Let us know if you need anything and we will try to facilitate it.

Now that we are more into the swing of things, the weekly timetable has evolved so you may find that you have more Zoom sessions, so please check the website regularly.

Most of our children are at home, and so they are our top priority. Please be assured that the same work is being done by the home-learners as the ones in school. The teacher’s are working tirelessly to ensure that gaps don’t emerge between the two groups, but we need all families on board with this as well as engaging with everything that is on offer to the best of their abilities.

If you are not engaging with the Zoom sessions or submitting work regularly, you must let the teacher know why.  As a school, we have to record home-school engagement, just as we would usually take a register in school. We are asked for this data by the local authority regularly and the Education Welfare Officer will contact families who aren’t engaging.

Many thanks again to you all – keep up the good work and have a lovely weekend. Mrs Williams

Panda Class Home Learning Friday 22nd January

Hi Pandas!  Happy Friday…

Thank you so much for your wonderful work and great effort you put into it.  I realise how hard it is to be motivated – especially three weeks in – but you are doing a great job!

Today we will focus on catching up and trying some other activities.  Like last Friday, we can do lots of lovely Friday things…

Jigsaws, board games, play word games; try the ‘Tell Me More’ game, escape in a good book or comic, how about building a den somewhere with some sheets and cushions, the possibilities are endless. If you need some more suggestions or fancy a challenge try the following:

Friday activities sheet

Have a really lovely weekend, and if you have any concerns or just want to share something, let me know.

Best wishes

Panda Class Home Learning Friday 15th January

Friday 15th January 2021

What a busy week! It’s been filled with positive Panda moments and lots of amazing work as a result.  Thank you for all of your hard work and effort – it can’t be easy juggling all of life’s commitments and home schooling.

I will send a link (on Class Dojo) to a PowerPoint which is a celebration of the wonderful work Pandas have produced over the last week. I’ve really enjoyed seeing what you’ve been doing. You should all feel very proud!

I would like to have today as a chance to catch up on the tasks you haven’t managed to fit into the week so far. There might be a couple of pieces of work you need to go back to; or something you wanted to spend longer doing, or just have a rest!

I hope you can make it to our Panda Class Zoom session at 2pm Friday 15th.  (Again, I will send the meeting ID on Class Dojo)  If children have anything they would like to show or share then they can have a go.  Initially I expect they will be a bit ‘star struck’ when they see their friends, so we will have to see how it goes.

If you are up to date and would like more work – I have added a few suggestions:

Ruth Miskin Phonics – Friday’s live lessons.

Joe Wicks and our own Mr Wright, ‘TWWG Move’ offer on-line PE sessions via YouTube.

Cosmic Kids Yoga

Reading (100s of free e-books via Oxford Owl link)

Board games

Singing and dancing

Role Play – can you act out the story of Lost and Found?

https://www.tate.org.uk/kids  Tate Modern for children is a wonderful resource full of amazing creative opportunities. I was on the site for ages exploring all of the different areas. I would definitely recommend it!

Here is a link to a lovely story called ‘While we can’t hug’.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tarq5nkkGlk

I hope you all have a restful and enjoyable weekend.

Best wishes
