Dear Parents/Carers,

We have attached some guidance for the learning we would like the children to be completing over the coming weeks. Newdale Primary School are committed to ensuring your child is still learning as much as possible and endeavour to do our absolute best to keep this happening. We will be able to communicate via the school website where you will find homework tasks in the usual place on our year 5 page. In addition, we will be able to track and mark completed work via PurpleMash. All logins can be found in your child’s reading diary.

The children practised sending emails to us today via PurpleMash (which is a secure site). They will therefore be able to directly contact any of the year 5 team with any questions they might have. Further to this, there is a range of activities and educational games on PurpleMash that the children love to play! Mrs Clarke and Mrs Stack will also be monitoring reading, spelling and times tables homework through the Homework Blog, PurpleMash and Times Table Rock Stars.

Finally, if there is anything that the children would like to share with us that is paper based, they could keep their work in a folder or wallet to bring back into school with them on our return. They could also share any photographs on the year 5 blog page. The password for which is blogpassword (all one word).

We would like to thank you all for your support in helping your child continue to learn and we will ensure that we continue to cater for them remotely.

Thank you from the year 5 team,

Miss Myler, Mr Banfield, Mrs Clarke and Mrs Stack.
