Happy half term!
Thank you to you all (children and adults!) for working so hard during this half term. We miss you lots but are thrilled to have heard from you and seen pictures and videos of your learning. Please check back after the half term holiday to find new learning tasks. The letter below updates you on a few changes that are happening.
Have a relaxing and refreshing break.
Love from Mrs Ling and Mrs Jeffery x

Dear Oak Class Parents,
After half term, we are making slight changes to the way we are planning and delivering our home learning. We know that for many of you with children in different classes, it can be difficult to find the time to focus on what has been planned for each of your children. With this in mind, and the fact that some children will be returning to school whilst others continue to learn at home, we will be setting weekly whole school themed topics, which all of the children can access regardless of age.
Each week we will prepare, and add to Oak Class page of the website, a weekly plan. The plan will contain a reminder of daily tasks. These include daily practice of reading, spelling, phonics, grammar and times tables which continue to still be very important and can be completed alongside the topic work in short bursts. In addition, we have planned a selection of English and Maths tasks and some varied topic activities for the children to complete at home. If you have more than one child, you can all access the same tasks or you can mix and match between the plans for different classes. Any resources you need will either be found online by clicking the hyperlink or through one of the attached files.
As you are probably aware, there are many internet based learning sites to access at home. These include White Rose and Twinkl home learning hubs, which offer daily lessons with short films to support learning, Classroom Secrets for kids, BBC Bitesize daily lessons and Oak Academy lessons. We would encourage you to access these at home.
We are very excited about these new and exciting topics and hope that they are a wonderful way to engage the children, spark interest and maintain motivation as we move through the second half of the summer term. We are confident that with use of these online learning platforms and weekly themed topics, this is a sufficient level of learning opportunities being provided for you. We are able to provide additional paper resources such as maths sheets and handwriting should these be requested/required.
We may have additional responsibilities and duties at school during this next phase. The amount of daily input and time we have to respond to emails and updating the gallery may be more limited. We will do our very best but ask for patience and understanding if we take longer responding to you than we have up to this point. We are confident we can maintain a high-quality of provision for everyone, as we have been doing since the school closed.
We are aware that we have provided many learning opportunities so please don't feel under pressure to complete them all. Pick and choose what interests and motivates your child. We are living in unusual times and so therefore the children may need additional emotional support to help them through. This is just as important and valuable as any other work that they complete so please don't worry if all tasks are not attempted,
You are doing a brilliant job and we know it is not easy to balance work, other commitments and helping your children with their learning at home. So well done and keep going!
As always, we thank you for your ongoing support and for working so well with us and your children at this time. We are awaiting further guidance from the government about when schools may be able to accommodate those year groups not currently able to be in school and will keep you updated.
Best wishes,
Mrs Ling and Mrs Jeffery
