As you may have heard, schools are no longer educational institutions, but rather childcare for key workers keep the country going. This means that students are no longer following the National Curriculum this year. 

However, the work I post on here will follow the National Curriculum and will be work that we would have done in class this year if circumstances had allowed. I wish for my students to have the best education possible and I plan on limiting the impact on them for when they return.

Before this happens, I am posting the Spring Assessments that children would have done next week. Please complete the reading test below, mark and email me the score using the email address above. This is important for me to keep track of what your child knows so far. The test doesn't need to be done to time, but does need to be completed independently as much as possible.

Hi everyone. Just wanted to give a bit of an update to the work I post  on here. The work I am posting is still work that would have been covered in class before Lockdown. Now obviously, for home schooling, you can only do the best you can and you are. Do not stress if they struggle with the work. Get them to do their best, but it is important they still attempt the work to limit the impact of being away from school. 

It can also be hard to get motivated in a home environment. That is why I am trying not to post too much work that your or my students are feeling over whelmed. I find little and often is better. Please feel free to get in contact if you need anything.

Maths: Telling time  to the minute. This is important for accurate reading of a clock where you need to know the exact time. This work is for today and tomorrow. Complete the 1 and 2 star sheets today and the 3 star sheets tomorrow.
