    Dear Children

    Hope you are all well and are keeping busy and are helping your parents out at home.

    Your teachers have been very busy putting together activities that you can do at home in maths and English as well as other subject areas. I do hope that you have been enjoying them and trying hard to complete them as best as you can.

    Many of the activities that are suggested are online, via the internet, and this reminded me of the importance of accessing information online safely. I know that Mr Bednar has taught you the important points we need to consider whilst online but I thought I would remind you of what they are.

     

    See SID'S Top Tips below

     

    There are many wonderful websites to access but we need to be really RESPONSIBLE when online. Ask your parents’ permission to follow the link below.

    There are lots of advice and reminders about staying safe online for your age group on this website.

     

    I am trying to be very RESILIENT at the moment as learning to crochet is proving very difficult and there have been times when I have wanted to give up. I have stuck with it and have learned the basics so I am now going to tackle a project. I will let you know how I get on.

    As usual Roy says Hi. He is enjoying having us all at home and is being spoiled. His favourite activity, after chewing bones of course, is playing ball in the garden.

     

    Here he is after a long morning playing catch  See Roy after a long morning playing catch below

     

    Take care,

  • Copy of Email to Children from Mrs Hull (Week 2)

    Thu 02 Apr 2020

    Please find below a copy of an email sent to all children from Mrs Hull today:

     

    Dear Children,

     

    It has been lovely to hear from so many of you this week and I know your teachers have been really pleased to receive so many messages. I hope you have all been helping your parents out (Respect) as I know lots of them are trying to do their work at home too.

     

    Make sure that you keep checking in on your Class Pages as your teachers are constantly updating it with ideas of things to do and also their newsletters and videos. (Responsibility)

     

    I know lots of your teachers have told you about how they are learning to do something new whilst stuck at home. I would love to hear from any of you that have started a new hobby or are trying out a new skill. I’ve started to crotchet but I must admit it’s a lot harder than it looks.

    I’ve been working at it for a little while now and haven’t got very far but I am not going to give up – I am determined to finish the project I have started! (Resilience) See photo below

     

    I read Mrs Issitt’s letter to Cedar Class today and she told the children of some very good advice that she got from a very wise woman.

     

    “Every night before you go to sleep, think about something that you are grateful for”

     

    I know I am grateful for the people I work with, knowing how hard they are working to make your ‘home learning’ experience the best it can be. I am grateful for the doctors and the nurses who are working so hard to keep people well and I am grateful for my family who I am enjoying spending time with. What are you grateful for?

     

    I wonder what Roy was grateful for today? See photo below

     

    It is not easy all being at home together and not being able to go out very much. It reminds me of one of our assemblies about being helpful and kind to each other and how that makes living together, whether a family in a house or our school family at school, so much happier for everyone.  If you don’t remember it, the link is below. Ask permission from your mum or dad to follow the link. Show them the clip and ask them what they think? What could you do each day to be kind and helpful to your family? I would love to hear all about it. You can send me an email perhaps and let me know.

    So that is nearly our second week of ‘home learning’ done.  I am so proud of every single one of you and I know you are all trying your very best at home.

     

    Take care
