Reception families will continue to use Tapestry.

Please support us by using these resources rather than phoning the school for individual information. Please also make sure your family stays safe online by checking the advice on our online safety page here.

For KS1 and KS2 each class page will also give a link to a home learning grid that will be updated weekly to help structure the week's learning, and a link to a topic activity grid for term 5.

In the WHO advice on mental health considerations during the COVID-19 outbreak, caretakers of children are advised to:
'Maintain familiar routines in daily life as much as possible, especially if children are confined to home. Provide engaging age appropriate activities for children. As much as possible, encourage children to continue to play and socialize with others, even if only within the family when advised to restrict social contract.'
Easy to follow assemblies for home learning
Lots of children tell us that they enjoy listening to stories in assembly, for example, when the Open the Book team share them on a Monday afternoon.
Throughout this period of home assisted learning, we will be posting videos from Rev'd Daile (and her special helper, Rev'd Charlie), our foundation governor Mrs King and the Open the Book team, who have all kindly made some recordings especially for us. These assemblies are linked to our school values, and come with a link to the relevant values worksheet containing interesting activity ideas and information.
Keeping our word
Here's an assembly from 2by2 that talks about the importance of keeping our word, illustrated with the story of Noah's ark.
You can view the video in full screen directly on YouTube with this link: https://youtu.be/mDqtBwY1rRQ
How are you feeling?
Here's an invitation from Lesley and Michelle from 2by2 to think about how you and those around you might be feeling at the moment. It includes a Bible story from The Jesus Storybook Bible.
You can view the video in full screen directly on YouTube with this link: https://youtu.be/Ck5WGUpXkaA
Respect
Our foundation Governor, Mrs King, has made a short video to help us think about respect, for ourselves and for others. You can see the video below and take a look at the values sheet on respect here.
You can view the video in full screen directly on YouTube with this link: https://youtu.be/OuF96KzbViw
Perseverance
Ian Freemantle from the 'Open the Book' Team has recorded an assembly for us in which he shares and thinks about the parable of the Persistent Widow. You can see the video below and think about it with some help from the values sheet on perseverance here.
You can view the video in full screen directly on YouTube with this link: https://youtu.be/yDqO6EXdlms
Compassion
At this time when so many people need help, especially those who are elderly or disabled, it has been wonderful to hear many stories of people offering help in many ways. Sometimes we call people who make a special effort to help others 'Good Samaritans'. Ian Freemantle from the 'Open the Book' Team has recorded an assembly for us in which he shares and thinks about the parable that Jesus told of the Good Samaritan. You can see the video below and think about it using the values sheet on compassion here.
You can view the video in full screen directly on YouTube with this link: https://youtu.be/MxblWatzoAA
Community
In the introductory video, Rev'd Daile explains about 'virtual assemblies' and teaches us some new opening sentences. She also has help from a special friend you will love to meet called Rev'd Charlie! Please see the values sheet on community here.
You can view the video in full screen directly on YouTube with this link: https://youtu.be/YXikUSRS1ws

Our home learning projects are slightly different this week - hopefully you will find them more detailed and therefore more helpful!
You can find a new home learning project for EYFS here - these wonderful projects have been developed by The Robin Hood MAT and adapted by us. We will try and upload a new one every week and store them all on Tapestry. Please don't feel pressure to complete them but it may give some ideas for things to do at home.
We are pleased to let you know that your child can receive a daily phonics lesson whilst schools are closed. Phonics is the way we teach children to recognise the sounds in words. It helps your child to learn to read and is an essential part of your child’s education. During the summer term, you will be able to access for your child a daily phonics lesson by clicking on Letters and Sounds for home and school. All lessons are introduced by celebrities, including children’s TV presenters, which adds an exciting addition to the lessons.

I really missed all the special things we usually do at school at Easter. I hope you were able to celebrate in fun ways with your families at home. Are you still getting through your Easter eggs or are they all devoured by now? We have been so lucky that the weather has been great. I hope you've all managed to get outside and enjoy the sunshine, maybe playing in your garden or going for a local walk. Isn't it fantastic to see all the leaves bursting out on the trees and flowers blooming, showing that summer is not far away? Well done if you've been able to do some of the home learning activities. Some people have sent examples of their work to the school web site and it has been lovely to see those. Keep sending them in! Everyone is doing so well in this difficult situation but I hope it will not be too long before we can all get back to school and have fun learning together again. With best wishes to you and all your families from Mr Baker'

Welcome to class JSB
HOME LEARNING
We want to do all we can to support our families and children through this difficult time. Before Easter we sent the children away with the home learning packs including some English and Maths activities. We have now written more resources to help your child structure their home learning. Remember, home learning is not the same as home schooling, and there is no expectation on how much should be completed. Please find a letter from your child’s class teacher here.
From 4th May daily work will be released on Seesaw at 6pm the previous night. You will find a link to a weekly overview grid of what will be released for home learning here, in this you will find the English sheets needed for the week, as well as a range of activities for other subjects. We have also included a separate Topic activity grid, which you will find here, which contains many activities related to your child’s topic for Term 5. Two days of the week, Seesaw will direct you to this grid. Please encourage them pick any activities from this grid that interest them. There is no pressure to complete all of the activities on the grid. We have tried to look for different activities which use a range of skills.
A copy of the White Rose worksheets for this week can be found here and the answers here.
Don’t forget that we have Doodle Maths, Tables, English and Spelling to use as well. You will also find in the Home Assisted Learning section of the website lots of additional resources for home learning opportunities. In addition, please do as much reading as you can.
Please remember to share any photos of work you are doing at homelearning@saltfordschool.org.uk
A special message from Mr Bowkett: Hopefully you were able to enjoy the great weather we've been having recently, whilst staying safe with your family. I've enjoyed receiving news about how some of you have been getting on and it sounds like you're enjoying yourselves. I'm thinking of you lots and miss being in the classroom with all of you and let's hope we can be back there again as soon as it's safe to do so. I look forward to seeing the fantastic work that you can produce on Seesaw, hopefully you will find it enjoyable and straightforward to use. Please don't hesitate to send me any work or activities you get up to at home, I've already enjoyed some of the work you have sent. Mr B

A special message from Mr Boyle:
Happy half term Team AB!
I wish you all a very restful and safe holiday with your families. Thank you for the amazing effort you have put into your home learning on Seesaw. I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing and responding to your brilliant work and creativity. It was a huge learning curve to get used to Seesaw but I think we have all managed to learn together and are having lots of fun using it. Have a good rest now and enjoy this time with your families and doing your hobbies. Whether you are reading magical books, watching exciting movies, listening to music, playing in the garden, getting some exercise, playing games, eating delicious food or just having a rest and a think, please enjoy every moment of this precious time. I look forward to seeing more of your fantastic work next term and to see you all again when it is safe to do so.
My very best wishes ABeings, to you and your families.
SALUTE!
