• Summer Term

  Thu 23 Apr 2020 Headteacher

  Our new Summer term began on Monday this week and has started like no other with the majority of pupils and staff learning together from home. Wheatcroft is partially open and we have a small group of pupils in school with just two staff on site. 

  I hope everyone managed some rest and relaxation over the Easter holiday and that you are keeping as well as possible under these very difficult circumstances.  At least the lovely warm Spring weather is helping lift spirits during this national Lockdown and I hope you are managing some daily exercise. 

  This half term, our main home schooling is following the daily BBC Maths, English and other subject lessons.  These daily lessons are available on: 

  https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/dailylessons

  They come with helpful tutorials and activities.  As I said on Class Dojos - don't worry if you haven'ta printer, just record answers in the exercise books or on a piece of paper. 

  A word of warning - try to spend up to an hour on the Maths and English if you are a KS1 pupil and up to two hours maximum if you are a KS2 pupil.  DO NOT SPEND TOO MUCH TIME doing the online learning and miss out on all the wonderful practical and creative learning you have been doing. You need to do both and have time to relax. 

  I will keep you updated via our website, Class Dojos (every week) and phonecalls.

• Easter Holiday update

  Wed 08 Apr 2020 Headteacher

  Hopefully, most families will have seen my Easter post on Class Dojos plus the class teacher posts today. 

  The key message is to try and relax this Easter holiday and have a rest from home learning for pupils and hopefully some quality family time together.  I know some parents are working hard over this holiday - please stay safe and have some rest time.

  School will reopen to a very small number of pupils on Monday 20th April and will be open from 8.30pm until 3.30pm. We have a staff rota in place to keep this running throughout the summer half term until Friday 22nd May. If you are a key worker and have no alternative child care, please email school before then to let us know if you need your child to attend.  The government message is still the same - your child will be safer at home rather than mixing with others. 

  Thank you for all that you are doing in supporting your child's learning at home - it has been brilliant to see all the activities going on and creative work - please keep this up and keep sharing photographs with class teachers.
