We are pleased to be able to offer all children who are at home the opportunity to participate in live lessons every day. These lessons will be delivered by your child’s class teacher wherever possible.
EYFS children will participate in a live phonics lesson and a story time. In addition, over the coming weeks we’ll be adding in a live Maths lesson. Miss Corney will let you know the times through Class Dojo.
KS1 and KS2 children (those in Mrs Thompson’s, Mrs Turnbulls’ and Miss Wells’ class) will have one English, one Maths and one topic lesson a day. Again, the teachers will let you know via Class Dojo what time these will be.
In addition, your child will be set one task per day which they will be asked to complete independently. Children in KS1 are expected to have lessons/study for 3 hours a day and children in KS2 are asked to complete 4 hours a day. This is in line with the latest governmental guidance.
Hopefully, by offering these live lessons, we have taken a lot of pressure off working parents and those of you who are trying to manage more than one child at a time.
Before each lesson starts:
Here are the key skills your child would have been learning if they had been in school. As much as possible, we are trying to keep the curriculum running as we would have done but have adapted one or two subjects slightly to support home learning.
If you are unable to access the live lessons, or if you’d like additional resources to support with home learning, there are many websites out there to help. Here are just a few
