Telford & Wrekin Laptop Recycling Scheme

Do you have an old laptop that you no longer need? 💻
If yes, why not donate it to help support a child’s online learning? 🙋
❗ In the next two weeks, we are asking for donations of laptops in good condition, that we will collect & trade-in to buy new laptops to help children in our borough who don’t have their own computer at home for online learning.
☑️ Our Council has already provided 300+ laptops through the “Laptops for Learning” scheme – but more devices are needed, as during this lockdown, more children in our borough struggle to learn from home.
If you wish to donate, please note the following:
Laptops condition
☑️ The laptop(s) you are donating should be in good condition, with no damage to keys or casing and with a power supply.
☑️ Please delete any personal data (e.g. documents, photos) from the laptop(s) donated.
Pick-up – to avoid non-essential journey, we will pick up your donated devices from your home or business address in our borough.
To arrange the collection, go to http://orlo.uk/ht4vb
👉 Pick a convenient slot (either morning or afternoon) when you would like us to come and collect your device(s)
🛍️ Ensure your donated device(s) is inside a plastic bag ( to protect from weather conditions), with a label stating ‘For collection by TWC’.
🏠 The bag needs to be placed on your doorstep ready for collection (from 8.30am, for AM pickup slot and from 12.30pm, for PM pickup slot)
🤔 Should you have any issues/ concerns around your collection slot or if you want to change/cancel it after your booking, please email laptopcollection@telford.gov.uk
‼️ We are accepting only laptops for donations (and not other devices such as ipads, tablets) as we can only trade-in laptops for brand new devices that will be given to children who need them.
THANK YOU! ❤️

Home Learning Feedback

Thank you to the Y4 parents who have completed this survey so far.

If you have yet to do so, please could you complete this survey as soon as possible as it is important that we know your thoughts on the online learning offer in Y4. As this is the first time we have used Google Classroom and Teams for live lessons, it would be interesting to know your views.

As with all surveys, we analyse them carefully to ensure we are continuing to improve our provision.

Many thanks

Good morning!

To help you with your phase 4 phonics practice today, I have created a word search for you to have a go at. If you are unable to print you could alternatively find them on the screen and then write them down. To stretch that further, maybe you can put the words in to sentences :) If, like me, you enjoy a word search, why not follow the link provided and create your own!

Miss Hammond.

Forest School Session 28.01.21

Both of the Y4 bubbles in school will have a Forest School session on Thursday 28th January, which will be led by Miss Taylor. Miss Taylor is Forest School trained and will be carrying out exciting activities with the children such as fire making. Please feel rest assured that this will be carried out safely and will give the children a sense of what its like to sit around a campfire. Please ensure that children bring in their Forest School clothes on this day.  Please note that this is a PE day so children will still be expected to come into school in their PE kits.

Many thanks

Good morning!

Here is an idea for today’s practice of those phase 4 blends. It is a link to the game ‘tic tac toe’. If you are unable to print, why not write them on paper and get creative with what can be used for the counters! I would love to know who wins!

Alongside this you may like to use a game to help you practice. You can use the link below to take you straight there :)

Y4 Reading at Home

It is really important that you are all reading everyday and recording what you have read. So that we can monitor this, we have created a virtual reading diary for you to complete daily on Google Classroom. You do not need to ‘turn in’ every time you add to it as it will save and we can see your progress. It will be a working document. Please remember to use online books from the Oxford Owl website and Fiction Express as well as your home books. Adults in Y4 will be able to write in your virtual diary too and ask you questions like we would normally do.

We all look forward to reading your comments.

Question & Answer Sessions

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.
