  Home Learning

   

  Our fortnightly, home-learning grids with guidance on spelling, handwriting, reading and topic activities are now on our 'Online Learning' page:

   

  Online Learning

   

  Remember that a teacher will also be monitoring the Purple Mash blog/Tapestry on a daily, often twice daily, basis; they are really, really, REALLY keen to hear from your child (or you) about the learning, or just to simply keep in touch and answer any queries. Please log on - our teachers are waiting!

   

  If you have time, the Wildlife Trusts have put together some excellent, 'Nature-based' and free-to-do activities called 30 Days Wild. Click the link here to find out more:

  Remember that learning is where we find it; it is all around us!

• Welfare and changes in circumstances

  Tue 09 Jun 2020

  We are aware that the current situation has affected many families and some families have found themselves in a difficult position financially. We have been able to help some of our families by supporting with benefit claims and food parcels. There is a range of support available for those who are struggling and those who are entitled to universal credit are also entitled to free school meals. Please advise us if your circumstances have changed and you are in need of support and we will do our best to help.

• Home Learning

  Mon 08 Jun 2020

  As you will be aware, we have refocussed our home learning away from Purple Mash and more towards Oak National Academy and BBC Bitesize, as well as keeping the learning going for MyMaths and TTRS/Numbots. Each year group is also providing a fortnightly home learning grid with guidance on spelling, handwriting, reading and topic activities. A teacher will also be monitoring the Purple Mash blog/Tapestry on a daily, often twice daily, basis; they are really keen to hear from your child, or you, about the learning, or just to simply keep in touch and answer any queries. 

   

  We understand that some parents and children are missing the Purple Mash activities. Our dilemma is that we now have most teaching staff in school, teaching the 'bubbles' of children, as directed by the government. We now only have a small number of staff available to run our home learning. For this reason the government have actively promoted the excellent BBC Bitesize and Oak National Academy to support home learning, as the majority of teaching staff are needed in school. The level of home learning set and marked by teachers can never match the amount set prior to our wider opening on June 1st. We wish we could offer more.

   

  Please encourage your children to check the blog daily and keep up with their learning tasks, both online and from their year group grid. Also remember, involving children in the daily routines and running of a house and garden are good learning opportunities.

   

   

• A great day welcoming more children back to school!

  Mon 01 Jun 2020
  We have had a great day at Barnby Road, welcoming lots of children back to school. The children were all happy to be back and adjusted well to the new routines. Thank you to all parents/carers for supporting us by following our new routines for drop off/pick up to keep everyone safe. 😀

• Welcome back and thank you!

  Mon 01 Jun 2020
  Thank you to all of the parents/carers for following the new routines and maintaining social distance when dropping off this morning. The children are all settled at school now and are smiling! 🙂
