Note to Parents

As you are all now aware all schools are closing today until the 29th March.

The children are being asked to do some work at home during this time. They will have with them their English and Maths books to work through as follows.

Children are to do 

  • 1 Chapter a week of Mental Maths
  • 1 chapter a week of Spellbound
  • 1 chapter a week of A Way with Words
  • Daily Mathletics
  • The children can also work through the Look Back Chapters in Mathemagic
  • SEN children have work from their SEN teachers

All childrens work will be corrected when we return.

We ask that the children do not do more than this in their books. If they would like more ideas for work keep checking out our school website!

Recommendation of time for children:

  • 30 minutes maths
  • 20 minutes Reading
  • Unit per week of MM and SB and AWWW

 

The School Website is a Super Resource

All Games on the School website, Typing.com, Topmarks, Mathletics

 

Some Reading Resources:

https://www.storylineonline.net/ – stories being read for children

Borrow Box and Tumble books – if children have a SDCC library Card, they can access this.

 

Perhaps we can turn this unusual time of our lives into something we remember positively with our children…..like building forts in the sitting room, or treasure hunts in the garden, or dance competitions in the kitchen!

We do hope you and your loved ones are in the very best of health and continue to be throughout.

Best Wishes,

Staff of Talbot Snr School
