Reception (Classes 1 & 2) Home Learning Week 1

6th January 2021Miss K. Wilkinson

Reception staff would like to thank all parents for their patience regarding arranging home learning for all children. On Wednesday 6th January 2021 you should receive a home learning paper pack delivered to your door for your child. This contains a timetable of activities, and worksheets and support materials you may need.

All home learning tasks have also been assigned on your child’s Seesaw. Reception staff encourage all children to use their Seesaw wherever possible to read the tasks as there may be internet links and videos to support their home learning. You can also upload photos of your work for your teachers to see your progress.

Seesaw is accessible on smart phones via the ‘Seesaw Class’ app or using an internet browser on laptops and computers at seesaw.me. However, all tasks can be completed on the paper workbooks provided and do not need to be completed on Seesaw unless the children wish to do this. Teachers will also give feedback to tasks where possible through the Seesaw.

Please find below a list of resources and tasks for Reception for home learning during the period 6th – 8th January 2021. A new post will go live next week with next week’s activities and resources.

School Closures January 2021

5th January 2021Miss K. Wilkinson

   
Dear West Boldon Children and Families,

It was so lovely to see you after the Christmas holidays even though it was much more short lived than we would have liked.

We will miss you not being in school, however myself and your teachers will still be here helping you with your learning. Remember this is not a holiday, you are just learning from home!

So for this half term things will be a little different. Let me explain to you what will happen:

Each week, you will receive a paper pack of work delivered to your house. The first packs will be delivered tomorrow for this week’s learning and then at the beginning of each week thereafter.

On Seesaw/Dojo/School website there will be weekly timetable for your year group sent to you by your teachers. (This works out at around 20 hours work a week) This will have links to click on that will take you straight to the piece of work or a helpful video sourced through White Rose Maths and Oak National Academy. The planning also has instructions about what the activity involves and where to complete your work which might be on paper, in an activity booklet or an exercise book.

If you are stuck and want some help from your teacher or you want to show them an awesome piece of work, then you can use Seesaw to send them a picture and ask for help and they will be able to comment.

Your teachers will also be doing a Zoom call on a Wednesday and Friday afternoon at 2pm (teachers will send parents a link for this) if your parents and carers want to talk to teachers about your work then they can do that at these zoom meetings, you can be there too but you must have an adult with you.

We have tried to keep the learning as fun as possible so work hard, enjoy and do your best!

From Mrs Garr and all the staff
