Hello again,
We have really enjoyed seeing and hearing about so much of the work that you have been doing at home. It’s good to know that many of you have also been learning to do really great things like riding bikes, cooking, water sports, growing flowers and vegetables, and finding out about local wildlife.
We have four weeks to go before the end of term – we know it has been a long time working at home, but keep going, you have done so well and we are very proud of you all. To help you keep going we thought we’d give a reminder of how you might like to structure your day, and link into some of the Wake and Shake activities we are using in school. Remember, lots of fresh air and outdoor activities are really important too! Our topic maps provide ideas for activities that you can do over a couple of weeks and you can use them in the way that best suits you and your family. Keep watching out for the weekly Maths and phonics – there are more phonic videos and activities on Bug Club and Oxford Owls.
Don’t forget you can also use any of the links we have put on our website and the wealth of online teaching, e.g. Oak Academy, BBC Bitesize, that has been designed to support teachers and families at this time. Keep enjoying your learning…..
You can use this structure each week if it helps:
