Good afternoon everyone,

Firstly well done to the children who are already completing tasks that I have set on the sites that you have access to. Although I appreciate that you won’t want your child to be online-learning all the time, please do make time to access these sites as these will give me assessment data to continue to assess your child’s learning.

I’ve now also set Year 5 up on MyMaths which is another online learning resource to support Maths learning at home. I will set weekly tasks on here, the same as I have with the other sites, and their work will be monitored through my account to help with assessment. Through this site they will also have access to a wealth of other maths resources too including lessons with accompanying worksheets - results from these will also be monitored too.

At the end of this post is a copy of the letter to help parents set up but I will need to send usernames and passwords by text - the first will be our school details and the second username and password is unique to your child to enable them to log in to their own portal.

Online safety

This continues to be extremely important, moreso now they are accessing their school work online, and so here are some activities from Thinkuknow to help keep your child safe online.

Resilient moves

In class we have been recording and sharing our resilient moves (things we do to get us through tough times) and I’d really like to continue doing this. If you’d like to share a picture/photo of your child completing any resilient moves over the course of the week then I’ll try to share them on here each week. Please make sure you only send a photo that you are willing for others to see on here. Send your photo, only one or two a week please to make it manageable, to our Year 5 email address: year5@our-lady.blackpool.sch.uk

Happy learning Year 5!

Thanks and keep safe,

Mrs McVey
