Parents Evening Phone Call Reminder

Dear Parents/Carers,

 

Please be aware that this week Year 5 Teachers will be running parents evening appointments on the telephone. We aim to stick to time so please be ready at your alloted time slot for a chat with your teacher. The number will either come up as a Telford number or a private number.

We look forward to discussing your child’s progress.

 

The Year 5 Team

Thank you Emma!

Big thanks for Emma for logging onto classrooms and working through what we can do online in terms of sharing documents and communicating with students. Please note that the Meet will no longer be accessible now.

Please leave a message in the reading diary if you tried to join the Meet but could not log into Google Classroom. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Enjoy your weekend!

Google Meet reminder

If you are able to log on at 4pm to Google meet, please see the full instructions which were posted yesterday on the year 5 news page. Key reminders are to go on Google classroom and sign in with your chromebook logins. Remember that you need to put @taw.org.uk after your username. e.g david.beckham@taw.org.uk.

Once on classroom, click the Meet link and then “Join Now.”

Don’t worry if it doesn’t work for you, I will ask for feedback after the weekend.

Year 5 e-learning trial

I am looking for Computing helpers across Year 5!

At 4pm after school on Friday, I will be running a test run meeting using Google Meets which will last c. 10-15 minutes. If you (children) would like to take part from home then please log in to google classroom using your chromebook logins (you will need to write @taw.org.uk after your name as your username. e.g. john.smith@taw.org.uk).

Once you are “in” Google Classroom, you will need to click onto this year’s Year 5 class – 5 2020.

 

At 4 pm, click the Meet Link under the class title and then click join now.

We will then run through simle tasks, such as muting microphones and trying the chat and screensharing functions. At this stage I should be able to talk you through the tasks.

So hurry on home and I’ll hopefully see some of you at 4!

 

Annual Parent/ Carer Survey Autumn 2020

We would appreciate your views to help plan the rest of this year, so we can continue to improve further. Please complete and return the survey via your child’s communication book by Thursday 22nd October. For each question, please tick the score from 1 (not very happy) to 5 (very happy) and add any comments you would like (comments are not essential, but can be most useful). We will then include the survey’s findings in future planning.

All returned surveys will be entered into a prize draw to win one of three £50 ASDA vouchers.

 

Safety on our site

Dear Parents/Carers,

 

We are continually trying to ensure we have a safe site for everyone.

 

We rely on parents to socially distance themselves and need you to ensure this happens please. We also ask that parents limit the number of people coming onto site. We have noticed that more than one adult is often coming to drop off or collect and also that secondary pupils are joining parents in this task. Please limit the number to one person unless absolutely necessary.

 

Recently we have had to put a yellow box outside of the back classroom doors. This box must not be entered by any parents please.

 

Staff will ask you to step back if this is the case.

 

We also ask that parents continue to use the home school communication books, call the office or leave messages with Mrs Powell and Mrs Huda if necessary.

 

Parents are not allowed into classrooms or into the main school via the main office.

 

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding at this time.

 

Miss Cook

Headteacher

Year 5 Self Isolation learning

If your child is self-isolating due to a family member displaying symptoms, please visit your child’s class page for ideas to support your child at home with their learning. The document will be located in the resources section on each year groups’ page of the website.

Year 5 self isolation learning

Please note that if your child is self-isolating because they are displaying symptoms, we wouldn’t expect them to complete the tasks if they are feeling unwell.

Many thanks
