Woodpecker Class Welcome 15.4.20

Date: 15th Apr 2020 @ 4:12pm

Good morning Woodpeckers, 

Welcome back! I hope that you have all had a lovely Easter and enjoyed lots of eggs. My little girl received far too many so I may just have to help her eat them – we all know that Mrs Latham likes a little bit of chocolate every now and then! 

It’s lovely to be back for the start of the Summer term. I am still missing you all and can’t wait to hopefully see you all soon. In the meantime, keep checking the blog everyday for my updates.  

I was in school last week and I really enjoyed speaking to all of your parents over the phone. It was lovely to hear that you are all well and safe. We talked about how impressed I was with your home learning before the holidays and I am sure that this will continues now that we are back.  

Important update: 

As you will know from yesterday, the blog was out of action yesterday and it still isn’t working as well as it should. I am having to email all the blog posts to somebody else and ask them to get them onto the system. So, the morning posts may be a little late. This might mean that you may  have to wait for the LBQ code for a little while everyday but IXL, TTRS and Readtheory will all still be available and the afternoon task won't change daily. These can keep you busy until the LBQ code comes through.  

Once the codes come through, you need to complete the 3 LBQ tasks and the afternoon task daily. Once the system is back working properly, I will start to blog later in the day to award housepoints for those of you who do.   

The afternoon task is a new activity for you to complete. I will link it to the topic web for this half term and I will set you one activity every week. You do not need to complete it all in one afternoon, it might be a good idea to do a little bit each day and make sure it is finished by the Friday. I would love to see any work which you do at home on the blog.  

A little tip is to try to have a timetable to structure your day so that you can fit your learning in as well as giving yourself some breaks and of course your lunch.  

You need to include: LBQ tasks 1,2 and 3 (approx 30 minutes for each), Read Theory (20 mins), TTRS (15 mins), IXL (15 mins) and your afternoon learning (1 hour).  I have included some timings but these are just to help, you may prefer to spend longer on some tasks – just don’t have a 4 hour lunch break !  

Please find the homelearning for Wednesday on my next post.  

Have a great day children!  

Mrs Latham
