Weekly Update 19^th June 2020

Dear All,

We have been experiencing a few technical issues on Google Classroom this week so we do apologise for this. Larger group meetings are causing more problems than small ones and presentations create some difficulties, so we are going to slightly change the way in which we work next week to see if this helps. Mrs Keefe is now recording more teaching tutorials so the children can access these before completing their assignments. Some of the live lessons will then be for smaller group support and the children will be split into 3 groups for maths. The ‘Me’ sessions will continue as a whole class social gathering, but the children do not all have to attend at the same time. Please encourage your children to check in at some point during the hour. The Wednesday lesson will also be split into the two classes. We will post a message on Google Classroom to explain this to the children, so they know which live lesson to attend.

The timetable for this week will be as follows:

The following assignments have been/will be set this week:

Maths:

Circles spreadsheet

Fractions and Percentages of Quantities Worksheet
