Welcome to a new week and a new blog.
We are trialling a different approach to the blogs this week. Rather than put up daily blogs we have placed all the links you need for the week here. Hopefully this will make navigating the resources easier for you as they are all in one place.
Don't forget, we would like you to email us once a week to keep us up to date with how you all are and if you need support in any area of your child's welfare and education.
We will be making follow up phone calls to anyone we have not heard from during the week on the following Monday so please take a minute at some point every week to send us an email.

Maths Homework Book
Please complete page 23 this week.
Sumdog
As mentioned in our general update email last week, Sumdog is a fun way of helping your child's mental maths skills. All children have their own login (email us if you can't find it) and the questions are personalised to your child's ability. If they answer the questions correctly they get harder, if they answer some incorrectly they get easier. Because of this, please resist the urge to give your child the answer as it will make the next question harder!
Next week we are looking to have an online event where all the children (and teachers) can go on Sumdog at the same time, which means we have a good chance of playing against each other. We will post when this will be in a blog later this week. Here is the link to get practising:
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any support or advice. We will still put out blogs on other days if there is any other information we need to convey to you so keep an eye on the front page of the school website. Please bear in mind that there is never a "one-size fits all" approach to learning - different children will have different needs and interests so feel free to tailor lessons accordingly. For example, you might find your child is more interested in finding out about the different animals that live on a continent in geography - this is fine.
Stay strong and please invest time in ensuring your child keeps engaged in some forms of learning as it will aid their transition back into school life when it comes. And it will come!
Lots of love
KS1 Team
