Notes for parents

Hi everyone,

I hope you all enjoyed the Easter holidays and you and your families

are keeping safe and well. As you know we are using the Seesaw app

to continue with our learning for the next while. I hope that you all

had a chance to look at it and don’t find it too difficult to navigate.

The work is set for the week as opposed to daily to allow

children to pick and choose when they complete individual

tasks.

I understand that it may not be possible for children to

complete all of the work and all we can ask is that they try

their best.

In school, my timetable looks a little like the one below and

shows how much time we spend on each subject (roughly).

time

Encourage all pupils to upload their work onto the Seesaw

website once completed. Parents can take a photo of the work

and upload that way.

There may be times that the children can self-correct their

work eg. Mental maths- I will be able to put the answers on

Seesaw.

Hopefully you all signed up and have access to folensonline for

the Starlight (English) and planet maths programmes. If not,

the instructions are on the school website under my name in

the ‘suggested work, week 2’ document.

All of this may seem like a lot of information to take in and I

understand that many parents are still working full time. Please

don’t feel like everything must be completed. Do what you are

able for with the time you have and hopefully we will be back in

the classroom in the not too distant future.

Thank you for your continued support,

D Brady
