Week beginning 8th June
Good morning everyone! I hope that you have had a lovely holiday!
We just wanted to explain to you that our virtual learning will be slightly different to how it has been. Now that more children are coming to school, either in year group cohorts or critical worker groups all of the teachers will be back at school. As virtual learning takes a long time to organise and prepare the way we have been doing it, we need to change it - we can’t all do two full time jobs! We can’t just stop it either because some children are not coming back at all and because no year groups are returning full time. We want you to keep learning at home on the days you are not in school. So, this is what will now happen:
On a Monday, children will have a welcome to the week message. We have been doing a daily welcome - but now it will become a weekly welcome.
The work for the week will be put on all at once in a timetable.
If your child is NOT coming back to school, you will follow the daily timetable.
If your child is in school on a Monday and Tuesday, they will do the work on the timetable for Monday and Tuesday with us in school and the work for Wednesday, Thursday, Friday at home
If your child is in school on a Thursday and Friday, they will do the work on the timetable for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday at home and the work for Thursday and Friday in school with us.
You may feel that the work is repetitive over the week, that is because we are going to be focussing on key skills that children need to master for next year.
We will continue to use this class webpage for the timetable and some links but will also continue to put any resources you might need in Google Classroom - we will carefully date and label them so you know which materials link to which task.
We will make the work set for the week interesting but well explained. We will not be able to answer lots of questions as quickly as we have been doing because we will be in school with groups of children.
Once our year group returns to school, you will only need to do the weekly check-in for your child if they are NOT in school at all. But, until our year group is back in, we will continue to send the check-in on a Friday.
