Dear Parents/ Carers

As we move towards the end of another week, we hope that you are all  staying safe and well. We wish you an enjoyable Bank Holiday weekend and hope that the weather remains kind.

Staff continue to support children in the Holywell Hub and I thank them again for their hard work and commitment. They are also keeping in regular contact with you all, posting updates for distance learning, using a range of forms. If you have any problems, or need to contact us, for further support, then please do so, using the email address; [email protected]. We are always happy to help.

We hope you enjoyed our special messages. The staff continue to think of you all and are always looking for ways to ‘stay in touch.’

Class 2 update

Hello Class 2, Just keeping in touch with you all to any thank you and to say well done to you all for  your hard work with the online work you are doing and sending it to me to be checked.  I will continue to send tasks via Purple Mash and look forward to reading your blogs on the platform too.  There are new activities based on the novels too that I’m sure you will all enjoy. It would be really good if you could write sequels of your own based on what you read…. we can share these with each other when we return to school.
I hope you like the video we sent to you all, the staff had a  great time putting this together and it makes us all smile seeing everyone making some special memories.
So that’s all from me for now, Stay safe, make special memories and have a look at the online work that’s there for you to work on.
Take care, From, Mrs Shickell

Class 3: VE Day Themed home learning grid

Good morning everyone,
I hope you have all had a good weekend. 
I’m not sure if everybody has been able to access the home learning activities being sent via Purple Mash and Google Classroom, so I have attached a VE Day themed home learning grid for this week (week beginning 4th May 2020), with some worksheets. 
Some of the activities are from the Royal Legion website view at: https://www.britishlegion.org.uk/get-involved/remembrance/teaching-remembrance.  Please ask pupils to complete tasks using either their home learning books, typing up using Purple Mash or choose one of the apps from Google Classroom.
For any pupils wondering what Google classroom is please ask them to open their Hwb emails and look for a Google Classroom invite. There are also some short videos to help explain what to do, in separate emails.
Look out for messages on the Purple Mash blog or Google Classroom stream from myself, Miss Owen, Mrs Maddocks and even other pupils from class 3.

If pupils have any questions, please ask them to email me through their Hwb or Purple Mash accounts and I will get back to them.


Take care and Stay Safe!

Regards,
Mrs Roberts
