Helpful resources for parents

Morning

As we start another week of remote learning we wanted to give a few quick reminders and draw your attention to a few helpful resouces.

Learning from Home

Thank you for continuing to support the children with their learning from home. As we mentioned last week, this is not without significant challenges.

All children from Y1-6 have a Google Classroom account where daily activities are posted.  Children from the Early Years continue to use Tapestry. Last week we published a set of FAQs with information to help parents with managing these platforms. The FAQs were posted on this blog, on social media and emailed to all parents. If your child needs more support accessing learning from home, please contact the school. We can help with techncal support over the phone and provide learning packs where appropriate.

Resources

The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health have identified a range of useful websites and information to help parents and children at this time. The website can be found here: https://www.rcpch.ac.uk/resources/covid-19-resources-parents-carers

The webpage can also be downloaded as a pdf here: https://www.rcpch.ac.uk/sites/default/files/generated-pdf/document/COVID-19—resources-for-parents-and-carers.pdf

Learning from Home FAQs

Apr
28

Hello parents and carers.

Can we start by sending a huge thank you to all for supporting the children with their learning at home. Learning from home has certainly presented challenges to all of us. Trying to be a parent/carer and a personal tutor and manage the other challenges as a result of the pandemic, is tough.  Nevertheless, there have been some amazing examples of creativity and resilience demonstrated by children, families and the teaching staff. Together our learning community is making the best of a very challenging situation! 

We appreciate that accessing learning online can be very difficult for a number of reasons and we do not anticipate this will get much easier the longer schools are closed. To try and help we have put together a few FAQs about some of the common challenges being experienced by families. The FAQs have been arranged in phases but they possibly apply to all children. After the FAQs there are some helpful links to curriculum and wellbeing support.

We hope these help and, above all, we hope you are all safe and well.

Important Notice

Mar
22

We are ready to support those who need us this week.

If your work is critical to the Covid-19 response or you work in one of the critical sectors and you cannot keep the children safe at home, then your children will be prioritised for education.

However, many parents who work in these sectors may be able to keep their children safe at home.

If it is possible for your children be at home, then they should remain there.

Year 3 – Help needed!

Next week is Science Week and we will looking at George’s Marvellous Medicine. We have lots of exciting investigations planned.

One of our investigations requires the children to use a leg of a pair of tights. If anyone has an old pair of tights (too small, not used anymore, slightly laddered) that you wouldn’t mind donating to us, please could you let us have them by Tuesday morning.

Please could you spread the message with other parents that don’t receive the blog. We will need around 30 pairs of tights.

Many Thanks

Year 3 Team
