HOME LEARNING

DHJS Virtual Assembly 27th March 2020

Our latest Virtual Assembly, led by Mr Gold, about our practice of Daily Reflection and how children can continue to positively engage with this over the coming days and weeks.

A special street dance tutorial from our parent volunteer Yamina


Home-Learning Arrangements COVID-19

From Monday 23rd March 2020, school will ONLY be open for identified children and those of Key Workers, as listed by the government. During this time, we are providing parents and carers with home learning activities and tasks. These activities will mirror the activities we are providing to the children coming to school. We have compiled a short-term pack of work that will take your child comfortably up to the normal Easter break. Following this, we will be adopting our longer term home learning strategy which will consist of weekly activities for each year group. These will be posted on a weekly basis. This new web page will be your 'one stop shop' for our home learning programme.

Short Term Home Learning (until Easter holidays 2020):

  • Your child has been sent home with both a blank English and Maths exercise book to record learning
  • Firstly, look at the Homework Policy, then use the blank timetable to schedule daily activities in agreement with your child. Some of you have asked for a scaffold. We have included a mock-up timetable as a guide (please see link below)
  • Reading: 30 minutes per day - can be reading book or a suitable non-fiction text. Your child has been sent home with a couple of library books to get you started. Discuss any tricky vocabulary and make sure your child has a deep understanding of the text. Fill in the reading record, then use what you have read to inspire a writing activity.  
  • Spellings: Each day learn some spellings from this week, some from last week and some from last term. See the year group spelling letter below for weekly lists and suggested activities.
  • Maths: Doodle 7-a-day (20 minutes independent work) followed by the 'new learning content' which ideally should be worked through with an adult. TTRS every day (10 minutes)  - links to websites below
  • Knowledge Organisers (see below): you can use these as a basis for a quiz, but also to inspire more exciting home-learning activities that you can do with your child. 
  • Humanities Projects (see below): Year's 3-5 have a humanities project to research and complete. They have been provided with an A2 piece of card to present their work in an exciting and creative way.
  • Year 6 have their Holiday Reading Project (see below) to enjoy and complete. 
  • We have provided our April and May STEAM questions of the month for the children to research (please see link below)
  • Topic Grids (see below): each year group has a topic web with further ideas suitable for activities at home. 
  • Music: we expect all of our young instrumentalists to maintain their regular practice. During this time, practice can certainly be stepped-up, with a minimum of 10 minutes three times a week. Children can be encouraged to play current pieces, old favourites, and any new repertoire they wish to try. They can even compose their own pieces!
  • Physical activity: 
  • Coding: Each child has a class code and login for code.org. (See below) This is a very comprehensive website that progresses children through various elements of coding. The website can be used without logging in but progress will not be saved. Contact class teachers or Miss Campbell (scampbell17.210@lgflmail.org)  if you have misplaced your password.
