Parent to Teacher communication

Dear Parents/Carers,

We have set up a new email address which will allow you to communicate with your class teacher should you need to. This would be a great platform for you to share positive experiences at home whilst allowing a more direct form of contact in these unprecedented circumstances. The address is: Newdale.year5team@taw.org.uk

Children should continue to use Purple Mash 2email and the homework blog as their main forms of communication.

Best wishes,

Mr Banfield and Miss Myler

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.

Google Classroom

Dear Parents/Carers,

 

I understand that some of you have been having issues connecting onto Classroom from home so I have created a document to run you through step by step which is attached below. I cannot stress enough how important it is that your child enters their username and password carefully using the correct punctuation and capital letters where necessary. I hope this helps. If not then please email through Purple Mash.

 

Thanks,

Daily Maths Activities

Dear Parents/Carers

Alongside the Purple Mash project that we have set this morning, we would like the children to be completing shorter daily activities which will revise key concepts from the Year 5 curriculum. These resources have been designed to allow children to work independently to watch a video, complete the activities and mark their own work.

https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-5/

Step 1: Watch the video for the day’s lesson.

Step 2: Click “Get the Activity” for a downloadable PDF which will test your child’s understanding of the mathematical skill. This could be printed or just completed on paper. Please upload a photo to the homework blog or as an attachment in a Purple Mash email to your class teacher. 

Step 3: Click “Get the Answers” in order to check your child’s understanding.

Please commence on “Week 1” and follow the scheme, completing one lesson per day.

If you wish to complete other Maths activities, we strongly recommend going back to Year 3 and Year 4 activities in order to revise all skills which are tested in Year 6.

We always appreciate your support at home and have been really impressed by how much effort has been put into home learning in these strange times.

Best wishes,

 

Year 5

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.

Key home-learning information for Year 5

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.
