22/04/2020 New Home Learning Resources
Here are two new websites for Home Learning:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/dailylessons
https://www.thenational.academy/
16/04/2020 Home Learning Class Newsletters 20.04.20 - 01.05.20
Home Learning ~Class Newsletters for the period 20th April to 1st May 2020
We are excited to share with you our ideas of activities, projects and learning tasks and are sure that you will have lots of fun completing them as a family. We are aware that many parents/carers will be trying to work from home whilst caring for their children, and that families may have children of different ages who they are trying to support. As a result, we have decided to structure our Home Learning around whole school themes so all of the children can be learning about the same topic regardless of their year group. Each theme will last for two weeks and teachers will be providing suggested tasks for all phases of the school. Email addresses have been setup so you can contact teachers directly to share your learning and progress, ask any questions or just catch-up with how things are going. We do not want any of our families to feel isolated or worried about Home Learning and we are all here to support you!
Every two weeks, there will be a new newsletter on the class pages on the website with suggested activities for children to complete linked to the theme. The activities have been designed to need few resources, not require any new learning input, be fun and engaging for all children and not put added pressure on families in these challenging times.
We are providing some guidance on how Home Learning might be structured but are aware that every family’s situation is unique and that no parents or carers should feel anxious about supporting their child.
Our Home Learning Principles:
- Encouragement – children need gentle encouragement to practise, apply and extend their skills and knowledge learned in school.
- Foster interests - learning should be open ended, flexible, exciting and motivating for children
- Personal responsibility- children should have a chance to make decisions and organise their own experiences.
- Physical and mental health- are core components of our home learning curriculum with an aim to reduce screen time.
- Collaboration and partnerships- between children, their teachers and their families is encouraged through meaningful engagement.
- Realistic- Home Learning should not require specific resources, materials or books to be purchased.
Quantity and Frequency of Home Learning:
We do not expect children to be working from 9am-3:30pm every day and this would in fact have a negative impact on their mental well-being. During a normal school day, there are different types of learning activities offered, opportunities to work collaboratively with others, times for socialisation and play and quiet times for reflection. We believe that Home Learning should follow this model and not be set around a very rigid programme of subject specific study and deadlines.
Finally we just want to say, please be realistic in what can be achieved within these difficult times. The main thing is that families stay safe and well, and support and care for each other.

Later this week we are sending out home learning packs for our children. As you are aware, the current situation is very unpredictable and so we need to get everything ready for the children, just in case we need to close the school.
