Dear Parents,
Thank you to you all for the amazing work you are doing with your children. Thank you for your posts, comments and messages on Class Dojo. We value them dearly.
Here are some instructions to help you know what you can doing when you are learning from home:
Morning Activities
During the morning, you should focus on Maths, Reading, Spelling and Writing activities. You should also read daily. Regularly ask an adult to test you and see how many you can get right.
Enclosed is a suggested updated timetable for this period of learning at home. TIMETABLE – Howard home learning timetable-1
Remember the importance of drinking plenty of water throughout the day and taking regular movement breaks. Try and get some fresh air and exercise each day to help you keep healthy and well.
Afternoon Activities
During the afternoons, choose one or two of the activities to complete.

Welcome to Virtual Sports Week
As this week is Virtual Sports Week, we have decided to theme our learning (where possible) around sports. For links to the activities (and video tutorials), please click here (https://www.howard.croydon.sch.uk/classrooms/virtual-sports-week-2020/) .
We have put together videos of Mr Sinclair showing how to do each activity, and there is a pdf document also explaining the activities and different scores to aim to get etc. which are on the Virtual Sports Week blog page.
There are 10 activities, children are to chose 5 activities out of the 10 activities and put these into the tracker (or they can create their own tracker) which is attached (pdf and word).
Sports-week-activity-tracker.docx-1
Sports-week-activity-tracker.docx-1 (PDF)
For each activity, the children have 60 seconds to complete as many reps of the activity as they can. The aim of the week is to beat their personal best, so we would like to see an improvement on their tracking sheet throughout the week. The PDF documents that explain the activities have Bronze, Silver and Gold targets for them to get. So there is also a section on the tracking sheet for them to tick if they achieve the Bronze, Silver and Gold. The tracking sheet also includes extra daily challenges for them to complete – they can chose which one they want to do each day – on Thursday there is an opportunity to dress up as their favourite character whilst practising.
Please do share your videos, photos and your activity tracker with us via ClassDojo
