Week Beginning 08/06/2020
Dear Parents and Children,
Well, I wonder how you feel about returning to school. I am really looking forward to seeing you all but I do understand that there will be concerns. Just remember that we are the adults in this situation and we will be doing everything we can to keep you safe, healthy and happy. The weather has changed but it can still be quite warm so still remember to use sun-cream, drink plenty of water, wear a hat and keep cool. Even though we are now going back to school you can continue to use this distance learning page and keep asking me questions.
Remember to keep yourselves healthy and fit whilst you are at home. I hope you are all working hard and learning lots that you can tell me all about once we are back together. Please put some work on HWB for me to mark and help you learn more.
I am going to leave the sample timetable on this letter just to give you an idea of the work you can try to do each day. Have a go, try your best. If you get stuck message me through Class Dojo or email me (just as we have learned in class this year). Also any work you complete on HWB is automatically saved to pupil files that I can view. My email is wheadonc11@hwbcymru.net
Do not try to do everything in one day remember to take breaks, complete your 10 minutes activity of a mile a day, relax have fun with your family, go to your bedroom for alone time, play with your toys eat, some food or have a treat. When we get back to school we will get back on track so make sure to look after yourselves. Mrs Issac has uploaded some excellent activities on Rainbow Rangers which anyone can use so take a look and have a go.
I have chosen a class book and this week will be uploading videos of me reading it so watch out for them. On Class Dojo.

Now remember to watch Newsround every day and to do the weekly quiz on Friday and find out about all the interesting things that are going on in the world! It is also important to keep fit – you can join in with Joe Wicks and his wife on line 9-9:30 every morning.
I am thinking about you all regularly and I really miss seeing everyone. Well done JE and AA on getting Star of the week for your work on HWB.
Lots of love and good health being sent to you all from Mrs Wheadon
