Welcome back to the start of the Spring 2 Term. We hope you enjoyed a much deserved rest over half term.
Remote learning will continue and only children of critical workers and vulnerable children will attend school this week as we await further announcements from the Government. The school will write to you as soon as we know more about the reopening of schools for everyone.
This week, Reception live lessons will take place via Google Meets. A link to the sessions will be posted each morning at 9.10 on your Google Classroom Stream. Lessons will begin at 9.15. Mondays and Fridays will be whole class sessions. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays will be Group Phonics lessons. For more information see the suggested weekly timetable below.
We look forward to seeing everyone at our first Google Meet session on Monday.
Kind Regards
The Reception Team

Suggested Week 1 Timetable for Reception Remote Learning
RHE Topic: Healthy Me
We start off this topic by discussing the importance of routines and sleep during live lessons. With the prospect of a possible return to school at some point during this term, it is important to establish a regular routines with your child to aid their transition back into school when a date is announced. Please see our suggestions for daily early morning routines, if this is something you have not yet already established.

We would like to thank you for your resilience, dedication and commitment to keeping your children learning throughout this very challenging term. Well done for getting through to our final week of term.
Thank you for engaging your child with all the fun activities to celebrate Children’ s Mental Health Week last week. Keep going with the Daily Yoga Challenge! Monday will be Day 6! Keep checking the Wellbeing Spot for more updates.
Please note that this will be a four day week of Remote learning and learning at school. Friday, 12th February is an INSET day for staff. We will not have a live lesson and Google Classroom tasks on Friday this week, nor during the half term break.
Remote learning will resume when the new term starts again on Monday 22nd February and will continue until we receive a confirmed date for the re-opening of school for all children. We will contact you as soon as we hear about a confirmed date.
Wishing you a fantastic final week of learning.
Kind regards,
The Reception Team

Suggested Week 6 Timetable for Reception Remote Learning
Please see our Material folders on Google Classroom for more information about the following special events which we will discuss with the children this week:
- Safer Internet Day: Tuesday, 9th February
- Chinese New Year : Friday 12th February. Join our live lesson on Thursday about the Chinese New Year
Key words: Animal word lists
This task on Google Classroom is for all children to complete:
- Children at school (tconsider it as a homework task).
- Children at home (as part of your remote learning tasks)
This week, the key word list folders will allow you to upload a short video clip of your child reading the words, once they have learnt each word list. Only send one video clip per word list.
If your child needs more time to learn the words on any of the lists, please continue to practise and only move onto the next list when they are ready to. There is no need to rush through the lists. It is more important that your child has a secure recognition of the tricky words in different contexts. Only send a video clip, if your child is comfortable with being filmed.
If you have previously sent in a video clip of word lists being read, you will not have to resubmit.
