****A message about Year 1 Home Learning****
-
With the further partial reopening of school following Government guidelines there will be a change to the home learning on offer to some of our children from Monday 1st June 2020.
With Mrs Darkin, Mr Swindells, Mr Virgoe and Mrs Teakle teaching our Reception, Year 1 and Key Worker children in school full time they will no longer be able to provide the detailed, creative range of home learning activities previously available. Therefore, children (and adults) still working brilliantly at home in Reception Class, Year 1, Year 3 and Year 6 can continue their home learning using the Oak Academy and/or BBC Bitesize websites. As well as this the Science and PE pages are still available to take some learning opportunities from. In addition you can click HERE for a link to the Barefoot website which has many Computational Thinking activities you can do with your children. Although linked to developing computing skills, these are largely about problem solving and do not depend on the use of technology. There are some fun things to try!
The teachers have really enjoyed engaging with you about your work via email and our class pages. Unfortunately it will be incredibly difficult for them to maintain the same level of communication about work being done whilst planning and delivering the teaching and learning in school. Please do understand that if they are unable to respond to emails or display work being done it is not because they don’t value that communication, but because their workload priorities are now back in school. If you have an urgent email that requires a response it would be advisable to email it in to the office so we can ensure it gets to the teacher if need be.
Thank you so much for your understanding with this developing situation and for your continued efforts at home. Home Learning for children in Years 2, 4 and 5 can continue as normal for now.
Dear Parents and Carers of Year 1,
Please contact me directly, at any time, using the email address year1@ferringceschool.co.uk with any worries or concerns. I will reply to you as soon as I possibly can.
The children can still send me photos of their writing and how they have been getting busy with their learning at home.
I will continue to update the links to various online activities for the children to access.
There will daily MyMaths tasks set for the week which can be accessed following the link www.mymaths.co.uk.
There are regular updates with new e-books set on Reading Planet with each child having a maximum of 3 allocated reading books to choose from.
There are daily online lessons from the government grant funded Oak Academy to access following the link https://www.thenational.academy/
There are daily online lessons from the BBC that can be accessed following the link https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/primary
Please also use this page to find links to other useful resources and websites that the children are familiar with in the classroom.
May I say thank you to everyone for your understanding and support during this time.
Have a great week and stay safe. Please remember to follow the guidelines set out by the Government and Public Health.
Kindest regards,
Mr Swindells

Reading Planet
Mr Ryan and Miss Squires have very kindly set up a program online called 'Reading Planet' which is a library of e-books which your child can read online and take part in quizzes related to the book.

Sumdog
I had a parent request for Y1 children to access the Sumdog resource online. Mr Virgoe has very kindly added all of the Year 1 children onto the Sumdog website. They all have individual logins and can play games and learn at the same time. To access the website just email me at year1@ferringceschool.co.uk and I will send on individual login details to you. Thank you Mr Virgoe!
