Phase 4 blends activity ideas

Good morning Tobias, Mckenzie and Riley! This term in school we would have spent a bit of time concentrating on our Phase 4 blends. Here is a sound mat of those sounds for you to familiarise yourself with. Looking at the first 4, which are st, nd, mp and nt can you challenge yourself to make a list of words that contain these sounds? Also, can you unscramble my words below? Good luck, Miss Hammond!

Beauty and the asteb.

I have a best feirdn.

Y4 Important Information for Home Learning

Hi Year 4,

It was so lovely to see so many of you on our live lessons on Teams today. Please remember that if you were unable to attend, we have uploaded recordings of the lessons onto Google Classroom. While we are on the subject of Teams, please can you also ensure that your child does not re-join the teams invite after the lesson has ended. If your child wants to message their friends, they can use their Purple Mash emails to do so.

Apologies for the issues surrounding editing documents and saving them. We think we have now resolved this. You will notice that we have uploaded new documents for some of the existing posts for today e.g. Literacy, Science and Maths. We hope that you can access these more easily now.

With regards to handing work in, when your child clicks on their work (assignment) it should then open the google docs for them. Please bear with google docs as it can take a little while to load. As your child works on this document, it will automatically save. You will then notice a grey ‘turn in’ button in the top, right-hand corner. Once your child has completed their work, all they need to do is click this. A pop-up will then appear to confirm this. Please click turn in.

If there is not a turn in button, do not worry, your child can then click the ‘hand in’ button which will still be on the page/tab where they accessed the work from.

As always, thank you so much for all of your support (and patience).

Free SIM cards

At school we have a limited number of a 30GB data-only SIMs for which last for 90 days. We would like to offer these to help support children access the online learning.  The SIM cards will work with a Smart Laptop/Dongle if it has a slot for a SIM card, you simply place it in.

 

The SIM card can be placed into a Smartphone. You can then use that data to connect or ‘tether’ your others devices (eg tablet, laptop) by using the ‘Hotspot’ feature on the phone. You would not be able to use your phone to make calls/texts while using your data SIM.

 

If you would like a 30GB sim card, please email newdale.primary@taw.org.uk and request one (first come, first served). The data must be used to support home schooling during this national lockdown.

 

The SIM cards are limited to 30GB, so once that data limit is reached, no further data is available and once the 90 days has ended, any remainder of the 30GB of data will expire.

 

Regards

PARENT GOVERNOR ELECTION: BALLOT PAPER

Dear Parent,

PARENT GOVERNOR ELECTION: BALLOT PAPER

The parents standing for election are listed on the ballot paper enclosed. Personal statements of the candidates are reproduced on the reverse of the ballot paper.

The number of parent governors to be elected is one. You should cast your vote by marking X in the box provided against the candidate(s) of your choice. Each parent has one vote for each vacancy irrespective of the number of children s/he has at the school. This means that in this election, you may vote for only one candidate. You may not cast more than one vote for the same candidate. Should you do so your ballot paper will have to be declared ‘spoiled’ and discounted.

The ballot paper (Form 5) should be returned to me via your child or by any other means you may prefer not later than 12 noon 12th January 2021. Any ballot papers received after this time cannot be counted.

A “Parent”, in relation to this election, includes anyone who is not a parent but who has parental responsibility for, or who has the care of, a registered pupil at the school.

Please find all information in the link below.

Phonics

Hello to all the children in my Phonics sessions, I hope you had a lovely Christmas and Happy New Year! I thought it may be useful to share a few links to some frequently used websites in school so that you can use them to help you with your spelling practice at home.

https://www.phonicsbloom.com/

https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/

There are also numerous Youtube videos to help you along, such as Geraldine the Giraffe and Mr Thorne, plus lots of songs and videos that can be found by searching specific sounds such as ai, ee, igh etc.

Miss Hammond.

Update 05.01.2021

 

Dear Parents/Carers,

We are delighted that our efforts to open today paid off with key worker children back in school loving learning. Staff also worked tremendously hard in making sure the online learning offer is as good as it can possibly be.

It is really important that both staff and parents do all they can to keep children engaged and learning. Staff are aware of the fact that many parents will be ‘home working’ and hence not have as much time as they would like or need to support children. Teachers are trying to make the learning as clear as they can to children in the hope they can manage to get on without the need for too much adult help whilst ensuring a quality provision.

We are keeping our Breakfast and After School Club open to support critical workers but have decided to postpone some clubs until a later date e.g. Crossbar clubs.

We have been inundated with requests for school places and this is becoming a real challenge to us due to teacher capacity and space. Ultimately, schools have closed to limit the potential to spread the virus. We are already close to our maximum capacity to operate safely. We do ask that you only request places if you are a Critical Key worker and that you have no other option in keeping your children at home. We are going to look at whether there are ways we can increase any capacity but in the end we will need to cap numbers and move forward in a safe way for everyone. We really hope you can support us in this.

The new booking form will be coming out soon please keep an eye out for it.

Kind regards

Miss Cook
