In regards to the uploading of work, and scores from arithmetic tests, I am more than happy for these to be sent as an update to myself, via email, if the need arises. I understand the need at this time to keep everything rather light at home and do not want to add any further pressure to the children or adults. Unfortunately the comments boxes are public on the homework pages, so email for privacy would be better.

In light of recent events and the need for home learning, I have created packs to go home to save on printing or need for the internet to complete tasks. If your child was not in last week, packs of work are available to collect from the school office. If you could email me to let me know if your child was not in and you require one.

Dear parents,

In preparations for the potential school closures following recent advice from the government, we have compiled this list of online learning resources intended to support directed and independent work activities in the event of learning having to take place at home.

It is important to note that teachers will use the school website at https://www.tattenhallpark.cheshire.sch.uk/  to provide structures for the school day before 9am every day (Logins should be in your child’s school planner. Please contact admin@tattenhallpark.cheshire.sch.uk if there are any difficulties logging in).

This will include recommended time frames that activities should take place in order for teachers to be available to respond to any communications and receive submissions of work. Work activities can be taken from the Home Learning Work Grids (found on your child’s class page), open tasks or will be set using URL links to resource sites.

Any work that is completed and saved onsite such as MyMaths, TTRockstars and PurpleMash do not need to be submitted through the school website however any other work can be submitted as a file such as Word or Power Point documents, photographs (useful for handwritten/hand produced work) or videos.

Here is a list of resource sites and locations that may be used to set or support your child’s learning (please note that this list is not exhaustive):

• MyMaths at https://mymaths.co.uk/ will continue to be used for maths homework, teachers will direct children to this when it has been set. (Logins should be in your child’s school planner. Please contact admin@tattenhallpark.cheshire.sch.uk if there are any difficulties logging in).

If you are unable to access electronic resources, teachers will be happy to provide physical copies or alternative activities.

If you are unable to submit work electronically then please compile work during the closure and hand these in upon return to school.

Please remember that, although it is important that your children attempt all work that is set, parents can support when necessary.

All tasks for the children have been set and are accesible through the childrens access to the school spider.

The tasks are numbered so that they can be followed, for example Monday will be: Maths 1, English 1, a silent reading task, a task from the topic grid sheet. Then the children will write a blog on their own personal page and complete a P.E task. Tuesday will be: Maths 2, English 2 ...

P.E and topic grids below. For P.E please take a photo or a video of you completing the task and upload on your page.
