Dear Parents,

Thank you for your relentless support with home learning. The teachers continue to be delighted by many pieces of work which are being shared.

Please keep in touch with your child’s class teacher via dbprimary and let them know if they can help in any extra way.

Wishing you all a happy and enjoyable week of learning.

TOPIC WORK

Each class has a topic to study which lends itself well to cross curricular work. The tasks set are linked to the topic and they need to be completed on a daily basis.

ENGLISH

Each class teacher will continue to post a video via db primary outlining the week’s English learning. This half term, the children will be expected to complete a daily English task which is outlined on the class learning grid. It is important that your child completes these tasks in order as they are a build up to a final piece of writing

BBCbitesize DAILY LESSONS and Oak National Academy

For extra work or for a change of approach to learning at home, you can visit the ‘Daily Lessons’ on the bbcbitesize website for your child’s year group or have a look at Oak National Academy an online classroom and resource hub.

READING

We expect reading to take place every day: EYFS-10mins    KS1-15mins   Y3/Y4- 20mins     Y5/Y6 - 30mins

In addition,the children have a weekly reading comprehension task to complete.

SPAG

A Spelling, Grammar and Punctuation task will continue to be set each week. Please be aware that the activity mats include three levels (one star being the easiest). Your child only needs to complete one.

Your child’s year group spelling list will be available on your class page for reference and revision.

MATHEMATICS

During this half term, we would like to consolidate previous maths learning and therefore will be providing revision booklets for the children to complete on a weekly basis. These booklets may include general topics for the year group or may be a specific topic which teachers feel they need to reinforce. Challenge reasoning questions will also be included each week.

Please continue to create a routine for home learning as suggested below:

Children should continue to record their work either on paper or in a book. They may wish to create a new project folder or book for their cross curricular topic where they can record their work and add pictures and photographs. The children can share their home learning at any time via dbprimary where they can write a daily blog or upload their work, photos and video clips. On return to school, we expect all children to share their completed work.

The children’s communication via dbprimary has been fantastic and it is so reassuring that learning is continuing.

We thank you once again for your support during this challenging time.  Please do not feel overwhelmed by our requests but just do the best you can within your family commitments and circumstances.

Kind regards

Hazlemere Staff
