Home Learning from March 2021
Class Bubble Closures:
In line with government guidance our home learning offer aims to:
A 5 day lesson plan will be emailed out to all parents every week. The lesson plan has been designed by our teachers to ensure all pupils are able to learn whilst at home. Our mornings start at 9am with half an hour exercise with Joe Wicks on Youtube on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays and with our PE Team challenges on our school Youtube account on Tuesdays and Thursdays. At 9:30am each day your child's class teacher will be on the DB Primary Year Group Community pages for an online register and morning chat. The work outlined on the second page of this letter will also be shared in the forum each day and sent by email to each child.
After the online register and morning chat, each day of learning at home includes an English and Maths lesson as well as a daily lesson from another subject in the curriculum. Pupils should work through each of the lessons and complete all of the tasks. Each day, one task is chosen for the pupils to send in to their teacher by 1pm. This task can be found on the final column of the table below. This should be sent by email on DB Primary. Your child’s class teacher will confirm they have received the work and also then give feedback to the class by email by the end of that day.
