Today, I have attached Government guidance for parents entitled Return to School Guidance for Parents.  (See Letters on the school website) This document communicates the Governments key messages for parents with the possible school re-opening on the 1^st June.

Next week, on Monday 18^th May I will write to you with further information regarding the possible re-opening of our school and the implications for you and your child/ren.  I understand that these are uncertain times but once again thank you for your patience and understanding.

Thank you to all those children and parents who have contacted their class teachers, this week.  It has been lovely to hear from you, either to:

• confirm that ‘all is well’ at home and your child is happy with the tasks that they are doing;
• to share some work with your child’s teacher; as well as
• to ask for further support around a particular activity.

Today, we would like to acknowledge the work completed at home by awarding our ‘Home Learning: Stars of the Week’ certificates.  These are awarded to children who have worked hard at home and have shared their work with their class teacher throughout the week. 

This week’s Stars are:

Home Learning: Stars of the Week 

Congratulations and thank you for sharing your work. 

We would also like to recognise the Rock Legends who have continued to learn and revise the times tables and associate division facts, using Times Tables Rockstars.  This week, certificates are awarded for those children with the highest studio speed, in their class. 

This week’s Rock Legends are: 

Home Learning: Times Tables Rockstars

In addition, today we would like to acknowledge those few children who participated in Mr Batey’s Daily Challenge Competition and award our brand new PB+1 Champion Certificate.

This week’s Champions are:

Home Learning:  Personal Best + 1

Your class teacher will be sending you your certificate on Monday 18^th May.  Keep up the good work.

Well done everyone for all your efforts at home.  Don’t forget to:

• share your work with your class teachers next week and you might be next week’s: Home Learning: Star of the Week!;
• continue to revise your times tables/associated division facts on the Times Tables Rockstars app and you could be next week’s Rock Legend;
• take part in Mr Batey’s Daily Challenge Competition and you might be able to do your Personal Best + 1 and receive a Champion’s Certificate.

Good luck everyone!
