Welcome

Expectations of home learning

Thank you so much to all of you for sending your home learning pictures in - we have loved seeing what you are up to at home so please keep sending them.

Currently teachers are receiving up to 50 emails a day and although this is fantastic, we want to make sure that teachers have time to respond to every child. Below are guidelines so that you know what to expect from class teachers.

1. Class teachers will respond within 48 hours of receiving emails, so may respond to several work submissions at once.

2. Teachers will generally make 1 comment about something they really like about what the child has done and make 1 suggestion of something to improve or an extra challenge.

3. Teachers are only contactable between 08:30-15:30 Monday- Friday.

4. Work uploads and teacher emails will only take place during term time (not during school holidays).

5. Three weekly challenges will be uploaded to each class page by the Thursday of each week.

6. The previous week’s challenges will be deleted on Mondays when new challenges are set.

7. Children who have shown exceptional learning behaviours will have their work celebrated in our weekly newsletter that is emailed to parents on Fridays and uploaded to the celebration home learning page on our website.

Teacher Challenges

Challenge 1 - Fantastic Factors!

Factors are whole numbers that divide exactly into another number with no remainders.
For example, the factors of 8 are: 1, 2, 4, 8

Factors can be shown in pairs – this video will remind you how we can use factor bugs to help us!

Now, try this challnge (remember to show your working out):

Maths snip for website

Remember: common factors are factors that are the same for your two chosen numbers.

Fake news - a lesson for children

(It's like a computer game so children should enjoy it ;-)

Fake news has always been a problem, but it's getting so much worse during this pandemic. Google has a nice little lesson for younger children to test their knowledge of fake news and what actions they would take under certain situations. It's free and only takes about 10 minutes. Click HERE.
