Tiger Update – 17.3.20

Dear Tiger parents / carers,

new Government guidelines is that if anyone in your household is showing symptoms of Corona virus (namely a new persistent cough or a high temperature), you MUST all self-isolate for 14 days. As a result, we are expecting even more children to miss school in the next few weeks. I have decided to share some of the home-learning links I have prepared, earlier than I expected, so families affected can start doing some work at home, if they have a chance.

I also have a home-learning folder ready for each child in our class, ready to be sent home if schools are made to close. So, if your child and the rest of your family is not showing any symptoms, please send them to school as normal and rest assured I am preparing for changes in circumstances.

If, however, your child is unable to attend to school and is well enough to do any work, I have selected 3 websites for us to use, initially:

For Reading: Teach your monster to read: https://www.teachyourmonstertoread.com/u/4791586

For Maths and English (including Spellings): Emile https://web.emile-education.com/

For Maths, Phonics and Reading: Classroom Secrets Kids https://kids.classroomsecrets.co.uk/

I have created logins for all children and will send you the relevant details via Class Dojos.

This is not an extensive list as I do not wish to overwhelm parents or children.There are thousands of free resources available for all areas of work in School. It is my job to curate the best ones for our class, so if there is anything in particular, you would like, please send me a message via Class Dojo.

I hope this is helpful.

Tiger Class – Book of the month – March 2020

What a tricky time we are having at the moment! To try and make sense of what is happening around us, our book of the month is an unusual choice.

Please see below a link to an e-book, which explains Corona virus to children. It’s short and uses child-friendly language, so it might be a useful tool to explain the situation to the little ones and reassure them as much as possible.

I hope you find this useful,

Mrs Crowe

Panda and Tiger Verandah work

We are very pleased to say that work is commencing next week to improve the verandah across the back of panda and tiger classrooms.  The heating system has already been installed and there are now units which can heat or cool. The ceiling is being completely replaced to prevent it from over heating and there is work being done on the windows and floor. This is such a valuable space in our school with our growing numbers so we are very excited to have these improvements.

During this period from 23rd March, Pandas will need to come in through the same door as the rest of the children until it is complete.

All children looked brilliant and did some excellent work today!

We’ve talked about some of our favorite books and read some stories to each other. 

The Vocabulary Parade was a resounding success and World Book Day was fantastic, as always!
