Scam Emails

We wanted to make you aware of a scam which effects families who are eligible for free school meals. The following extract has been taken from an official Government website that was updated today –

Be aware of scam emails

We have been informed that some parents have received an email stating the following: ‘As schools will be closing, if you’re entitled to free school meals, please send your bank details and we’ll make sure you’re supported’.

We can confirm that this is a scam email and is not official. We urge parents that if you receive any emails like this, please do not respond, and delete it immediately.

Home Learning Year 2 – Maths w/c 30th March

Alongside the activities we have been setting on Purple Mash for maths, we thought it would be a nice idea to try using the White Rose materials. These have been specifically prepared for parents and children while the schools are closed to help continue with studies at home.

Each day you need to watch the video first at:

https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-2/

(We are starting from week 2, as week 1 has already been covered in school).

Monday Lesson 1 – Recognising a third

Tuesday Lesson 2 – Find a third

Wednesday Lesson 3 – Unit fractions

Thursday Lesson 4 – Non-unit fractions

Friday Lesson 5 – Equivalence of a half and two quarters

Answer the questions which are on the worksheets (see links below) – you can print this out or complete in your homework book or on a piece of paper. You can then upload a photo of it to the homework blog for us to see.

Please e-mail us via Purple Mash is you have any problems.

Best wishes,

Miss Newport and Miss Jones

Hello Year 2!

Thank you for sending us all of your wonderful work and messages.  It is great to see that you are all working so hard.

Here are the 2dos for you to complete today:

Why not try doing some cooking this weekend? Jamie Oliver has pulled together a list of recipes that cover breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks and they are all perfect for small sous-chefs (with a bit of help, of course!).

Remember to upload any photos to the homework blog.

Have a lovely weekend,

From Miss Newport and Miss Jones :-)

Information for the parents of children with SEND

Please see the following message from Vicky Ford MP for the parents of children with SEND, particularly those that have an Education and Health Care Plan (EHCP).

As ever, the document is asking Parents to consider whether their child’s needs can be met at home safely. This is to keep as many children as possible at home during this time to help reduce the transmission rates of Covid 19.

We hope you are finding Miss Hammond’s videos helpful, along with the Read, Write, Inc videos we advertised yesterday.

Another fantastic help in this difficult time is provided by the website: https://new.phonicsplay.co.uk/
