Thursday 14th January 2021 – Remote Learning

Morning year 4,

You have all been working so hard this week with your learning, I am really proud of you!  Make sure you thank your parents, carers and siblings for the support they giving you.  Finding a new way of working together, as a family, can be really hard.  Take time for yourselves, look back and feel full of pride of what you have all achieved so far this week!

I have had children and parents and carers email, call and message me with questions about the learning.  Please make sure that if you do not understand a task or need a little extra help you are doing this!  I uploaded one of my first recorded mini lessons for Amelia today…hopefully the first of many to come!

Below are today’s activities:

Maths – Number Bonds Part 2

Maths – Number Bonds Part 2

Spelling – Statutory List and High Frequency Words

Continue practising your spellings.  On Tuesday’s Google Meet, we will discuss these in more detail and if you’re feeling confident you can spell these out to me.

Grammar – Imperative Verbs and Connecting Clauses

As I explained in yesterday’s task, and on our Google Meet, I expect these to be completed over a couple of days as there are quite a few tasks.  Make sure you are watching the video to support your learning.

It is great to see that you are reconnecting with Bug Club; we will be using this more next week.

Languages

Mrs Russell has created another language task for you to complete.

French – Colours Part 2

HOW TO MAKE CONTACT with YOUR CHILD’S CLASS TEACHER

We are aware of the difficulties regarding communication between class teams and parents, as staff seek to make contact with families. Unfortunately we have limited phone capacity in the school, and staff have limited time for calls due to their other commitments.

With this in mind, we will be providing each class with its own mobile phone, which will enable parents to leave messages direct for the class team to pick up during the day and respond to.

We will update you once the phones arrive. In the meantime please contact school using the usual means.

HOME LEARNING

Have you checked out our Learning at Home page yet? It’s the place to begin when looking for remote learning for any class within school during this period of closure. Just go to the school website at www.haytorview.devon.sch.uk . You won’t be able to miss it. Get in touch if you have any questions or think we can help in any way with your children’s learning at home.
