I asked Clare how long she needed - and that is what she said...Preparing a loaf of bread to bake takes 90 minutes? Do you call that productivity? No wonder British industry is in such a mess.

Letter from school today
====
18th March 2020
Dear Mums, Dads and Carers,
As you have probably seen in the media, there is an increasing thought that it won’t be long before schools are asked to close, either partially or fully. We have therefore been working to ensure that we have a system in place to allow children to have access to age appropriate work, every day that we are potentially closed.
In the event that the school is closed, there will be new information and guidance published on the school website, in each year group’s page:
[deleted school web site]
On each year group page, you will find:
• Links to useful websites that you can access with your child as you see fit.
• Some ‘practical ideas’ for you to carry out with your child if you wish.
• Some key spellings for each year group for you to practise with your child.
• The times tables that each year group are learning this year for you to work on with your child.
• A link to Google Classroom where you can access work on a daily basis (see info below)
Google Classroom
After a successful test, we will be using this online platform to set daily work for all children in Reception – Year 6 to complete at home (Please note: There is a guide attached to this letter which includes the login details and how to access the work).
This work will consist of 3 elements each day:
• A maths activity
• A writing activity
• A reading comprehension or phonics activity
The work will be uploaded to the website between 3-4pm everyday ready for the next day e.g. Monday’s work will be available by 4pm on Sunday and so on. The work will be designed to last for approximately 1-2 hours per day and is aimed at the age related expectation for each year group. You will have access to all year groups’ pages using the guidance above and are therefore able to use work from an alternative year group if that is more appropriate for your child.
The work will be predominantly in pdf format and there is no requirement for the work to be printed or for the children to answer it online. Instead we will be providing all children with an exercise book in which they can record their work. Answers will be available where applicable so that parents can mark the work at home (Please note: There is no expectation for these home learning books to be returned for marking once school reopens.)
To help the children to be able to complete these activities we will also be providing each child with the following:
All year groups will receive:
• A blank exercise book
• A pencil
• A rubber
• A pencil sharpener
In addition other year groups will receive the following:
Reception & Year 1:
• A glue stick
Year 4, 5 & 6:
• A handwriting pen
All of these items will be coming home from today in preparation for a closure.
Please note that the work on Google Classroom will not be available until the school is officially closed.
Reading
In addition to the Google Classroom work, we would also like the children to be reading every day. Therefore, we will also be sending the children home with up to 3 reading books each for them to read at home during the closure. The titles of these books will be written on a slip of paper, which will be stuck into the blank exercise book that your child brings home. This is in order for you to know which books will need to be returned when the school is open again.
Once the children have read the school books that they come home with, we would ask for them to read their own books at home or ask that they access the Oxford Owl website. Once registered on this website, you and your child will have free access to hundreds of age appropriate reading books.
We are faced with an unpredictable and unprecedented time over the next few months but hope that the above provision will allow for your child to continue to progress with their learning in the absence of formal schooling, we also hope that it provides you with a clear idea of what your child should be completing each day and helps to provide a structure that enables you to stay sane! For more on providing structure at home, you may wish to read the following:

If you require any technical support with Google Classroom over the closure, please email:

Once again I would like to thank you all for your continued support and rest assured that we will keep you updated with any further details of school closure as soon as they become available. In the meantime, please follow the government guidance, keep your families safe and contact the office if you have any further queries.
Kind regards,
Head Teacher
