Thank you so much parents and carers for your support this week while we got everything up and running for home learning. It has certainly been a tricky week but I am so proud of all the children for how well they have taken everything in their stride. They have worked hard and I am so impressed with the standard of work that has been submitted so far. By Monday morning each week the new home learning post will be available on the school website (under the home learning tab) and the activities will have been updated on Class Dojo for the children to complete. If you are struggling to bring some structure to your day, I have also included a weekly timetable on my google drive that you might like to follow.
The children who are in school will be completing the same work that I set for the children at home. That way, when we do all come back together, I know where we are all up to. Each week, there will be the following home learning to complete:
A daily maths worksheet with a matching video link explaining the concept for that day
A talk for writing booklet (the whole booklet is to be completed over the week)
1/2 RE tasks
1/2 Geography tasks
1/2 Science tasks
A creative task
2 Reading tasks (this will usually be me asking you to record your child reading). Outside of this, I do expect the children to be reading daily
As I said on Class Dojo earlier this week, I understand that there will be some days where the children are having a bad day or you may have a lot of work on yourself and therefore home learning has to take a back seat for the day. That is absolutely fine - please just let me know. In any case, if you’re in a situation where you are wondering what tasks to prioritise, I would always suggest the Maths and English tasks. I can be contacted on Class Dojo or via e-mail (year3@our-lady.blackpool.sch.uk) if you need anything.
At the start of next week I will be e-mailing to you your child’s login details from Miss Benson for a music website called Charanga which is fun to use and will support their music learning. Miss Benson will be uploading activities on there for the children to do with their recorders and the site also gives access to Charanga Music World which is a fun journey through music with the recorder. I will certainly be taking a look and having a go as I am also learning how to play the recorder along with the children!
I am really looking forward to the time when we can be together again. Please stay safe and know that I am thinking of you all.
Miss Heim-Sarac
