Working from home Y5&6 Friday 3rd April

It’s the final day of the term, but it’s a strange way for it to end. Hopefully, you’ve all been safe and well at home, and the children have been able to maintain some form of normality and routine during the past two weeks. Thank you for supporting your child/children throughout these days at home whenever they’ve needed it.

I’ve tried to keep everything as normal as possible and in a way in which the children are capable of accessing their learning as independently as possible. It’s a huge help though that you are there to guide and encourage a high expectation and standard in the way that they learn. I’m always a quick message away if and when you need anything!

Here’s a timetable for the final day’s learning from home this term.
Daily Timetable Friday 3.4.20

9:00 Morning exercise – Joe Wicks (Or if you are all Joe Wicks’d out, you could try a dance class with Oti Mabuse on her Youtube page)

9:30 Spelling Test – The spellings to be tested on are on Slide 2 of the daily timetable! Good luck and be honest! If you can send me your scores from this week (and last week if you didn’t) that would be great.

Donations of PPE

We have been asked to share this letter with our families:

Coronavirus COVID19 and Personal Protection Equipment

The Chief Medical Officer has raised the risk of catching coronavirus to high. To reduce the spread of infection, protect those most vulnerable and keep critical services going, we are asking you if you can help us.

This is a call to all businesses and organisations in the county, please help us to help your community. Shropshire Council provides support to a range of people and to do this safely we desperately need more personal protective equipment (PPE). If you own a nail bar, beauty salon, veterinary surgery or any other type of business that uses PPE and do have any spare unopened boxes, particularly gloves, aprons or goggles, we would be really grateful if you can let us have it, as a matter of urgency.

Please contact our PPE coordinator Mike Parry Mike.Parry@Shropshire.gov.uk if you are able to help us with this, they will provide further information on how we will collect it from you.

A big thank you in advance for your support.

Yours sincerely

Public Health,

Shropshire Council,
