Dear Parents, Carers and Children,
Follow the link below to join Mrs Powell and Mrs Huda’s question and answer session every Wednesday at 2pm. We have set aside some time where you can ask any questions you have and also let Mrs Powell and Mrs Huda know how you are feeling and how you are getting on with your online work.
If you are logging in as a guest, please can you use the child’s name so we know who is in our session. There might even be some special guests joining us from time to time.

18.1.21 Online Learning Offer Survey
Dear Parents and Carers,
We hope that you all continue to stay safe and well.
The best way for your children to continue making super progress during this difficult time is for them to access our very carefully planned Online Learning Offer. These sessions are as they would be if your child were in school and in fact are the same offer as the ‘critical worker’ children we have in school. Paper packs are a last resort and we discourage this if there is any way you can gain online access for your child. (Call us if you need help).
For those of you whose children are accessing learning at home, we are keen to gather your thoughts as to the provision that we are offering.
Please could you follow this link https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=2s8TOK9SpUy44yMVeXcKujfWR1zrUJ1JhQgacqv0-RBUQUcwTEc3ODlOMlhIMjEyRVVUTVFaVUwzTS4u and respond to this by Friday 22nd January at 3pm.
Every response will be read and used to further improve our offer if needed. Feedback will also be passed onto staff and governors, who I hope you will agree are working so hard to keep your child’s progress as the priority.
Kind regards
Mrs Bishton
Update 18.1.21
Dear Parent/Carer,
Like everyone, we are hopeful that the end is now in sight with the rapid roll out of the Coronavirus vaccine.
Over the weekend we were however informed of two positive cases of children, one in Year 6 and one in our Nursery provision.
Unfortunately, we have had to put a number of children and adults into isolation in Year 6 and the same for Nursery. Clearly the ‘track and trace’ method of detection is so difficult when the children are so young in Nursery and hence the impact of this has been much wider.
We want to reassure you that we continue to strictly follow all guidance as far as prevention of spread of the virus is concerned in school and nursery. It is so important that you also follow the national guidance at home. Please keep a very careful eye on your children and do not send them to school if they are unwell. Unfortunately Coronavirus in children can very often result in there being zero symptoms, which of course makes it very difficult to detect.
As a resident of Telford and Wrekin, you are allowed to access regular testing. We know that lots of families are doing this, which really does help us keep a grip on the virus transmission. If you can please follow this link and look to book tests as regular as you can –
https://rapidtest.telford.gov.uk
We are delighted with our online learning offer and hope you can spare a few minutes later today filling in the parent survey so that we can see clearly see what is working well and areas that we need to tweak.
Paper packs of work are an absolute last resort and no where near as beneficial to your children as the online lessons. We have been trying so hard to support all families in gaining online access. If you still are struggling please do ring the office and we will do all we can to get you up and running.
Thank you for your continued support.

Year 5 Reading Challenge
Dear Year 5,
It is very important that you are continuing to read regularly at home.
Please read something from Fiction Express or a book from home. You then need to fill out your e-reading diary (in the list at the top of the classwork page – it is not in a folder). You need to treat this as your reading diary at home. That means that you should be reading at least 3 times a week, if not every day, and writing a comment about what you have read just like you usually would.
Shout out to: Isla, Tilly, Jenson, Lexie, Gia, Ella and Robbie for making a great start with this.
Who will read the most this week?
We are already looking out for this week’s stars of the week!
Year 5 Team
Well done Year 5
We just wanted to reiterate how amazing everyone has been this week in school and at home. Congratulations to the Stars of the Week especially. It was really hard to choose because we have received close to 1,000 pieces of work altogether! We are so impressed by the independence and work-ethic of this year group.
Please be aware that PE days in school will return to Tuesdays and Fridays next week.
Have a relaxing and well-deserved weekend,
The Year 5 Team

Overviews of Maths content
Dear parents and carers,
Over the next few days, you will see your class teachers sharing overviews of maths content with you on a single sheet of paper.
These are called knowledge organisers and contain the essential parts of learning that your child will be covering in that unit of work. We need our children to know more by remembering more and these will help them to understand what are the essential parts that they need to know at the end of that unit of work.
The work that is set for your children will relate directly to the content on these. You can support your child by going through these with them and identifying if there are any aspects on there which your child needs extra work on. Your child’s teacher will be able to help you with this.
As always, if any help or support is needed, please get in touch.
Kind regards
Mrs Bishton
