Week Beginning 8th February 2021 Week 6
Dear Parents and Children,
I hope you are all well and determined to work hard and enjoy your learning. Those of you who used my pages last year (this year’s year 4s) will find a familiarity about the layout and work. Those of you who are new to my style of distance learning please let me know if you experience any difficulties or have any questions. I will be on teams most mornings between 9:30 and 10:30 to help you and teach you. You can also message me through Class Dojo or use my work email which is wheadonc11@hwbcymru.net .You can complete your work in your HWB account, which we have been using for the whole of the Autumn Term and you are very good at getting on to it. It saves automatically and I will be able to see it and leave some comments to say how well you have done. If you would prefer to write your work out that’s great- take a photo and upload it to HWB or Class Dojo for me to see a few children have been doing this and I can still attach comments.
Remember to keep yourselves healthy and fit whilst you are at home, complete your 10 minutes activity of walking, skipping, running etc 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.
I am thinking about you all regularly and I really miss seeing everyone.
Thinking about you lots and sending good health to you all from Mrs Wheadon.
Below I have set out a timetable of how we would complete this work in school- please remember that your children would also be having regular breaks, playing board games, listening to stories, using construction toys, having a snack, talking to their friends, talking to adults, looking at/reading books and definitely not be working constantly throughout the day.
