News: Headteacher Update

Dear Parents and Carers,

I hope you are keeping safe and well during these challenging times and that you managed to have a good rest over the Easter break. Our staff continue to do an excellent job in the Holywell Hub, supporting the children of key workers. On behalf of everyone, I wish to thank them, for their continued commitment and dedication.

As you will also be aware, staff have been keeping in touch with you all, using a range of formats; seesaw, purple mash and now Google classroom in Years 5 and 6. I thank you again, on behalf of all staff, for continuing to support your children with the work that is being set, on a weekly basis. Please do not feel ‘under pressure’ to complete all tasks. It is far more important that children do ‘some activities’ each day and then have time to be active, do jigsaws, read a book, play board games and participate in any kind of other ‘fun’ activities. They will still be learning from all of these experiences and a balance of work and play ensures everyone’s ‘well- being.’

In school, our day is ‘divided up’ into opportunities to learn in a variety of ways, both indoors and outdoors and sometimes the best type of learning does not involve writing anything down, but is simply about exploring nature or learning a new skill. All these activities, ensure that children continue to learn and develop into happy and healthy individuals.

Please look out for a special post, over the next few days, that the staff have been working on, which we hope will make you all smile. They are always thinking of you all and looking for ways to ‘keep in touch.’ A HUGE thank you to them all for participating in this and to Miss Owen who has spent many hours coordinating all their efforts. Take care everyone and stay safe.

Class 3: Google classroom

Good Afternoon Class 3. 


I hope you have all had a lovely Easter with your family and taken advantage of the beautiful weather.


Thank you to everybody who has completed the tasks I set prior to Easter. I have enjoyed reading your work and I hope you have enjoyed completing them. Please don’t get yourself upset or worry about any work, do what you can but my priority is you staying safe and being happy.


I myself have been busy over Easter learning how to cook new cakes and meals, play new games and having fun in the garden with my family. I would love to hear how you have been keeping busy. I have also been learning about new ways to connect with you, and am very excited to introduce you to google classroom. I would like all pupils in Class 3 to log onto their Hwb account and open an email which will have an invite to join Class 3 Google Classroom. I will be using this platform to send activities and explore different ways for you to learn. You will find a new Home Learning Grid which will have a mixture of activities to complete.


I will send you further information via Hwb emails to help open google classroom so please remember to look.


Stay Safe and take care!


Regards


Mrs Roberts

Foundation Phase: Home Learning wb 20.04.20

Bore Da Pawb, 
We hope you have all had a restful, fun and safe Easter. Today we would have be waking up and getting ready to start a new term. In Foundation Phase we would be looking at the topic ‘In the Garden’, however, even though we aren’t in the classroom, we will still be creating different home learning challenges with the ‘In the Garden’ topic in mind. 
You will see an attached Home Learning Challenge sheet with resources to support. This Home Learning Challenge sheet is based on the story ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’. Please use these challenges as you see fit and adapt them to suit your children’s strengths and interests. 
We hope you find these useful, some of the challenges will link to PurpleMash 2dos.
Do what you feel comfortable doing, enjoy this sunshine this week and make memories with each other.
Please take a look at our PurpleMash blog and use the blog to communicate your updates or if you require any support.
Many thanks for your support and co-operation again, 
Miss Davies Mrs Harris  Mrs Williams
