Hi everyone!
Another week of home learning lies ahead.
Below you will find the overview for this week’s book “William’s Winter Wish”.
Please try to remember to do work each day where possible and to remember that even in school we do not work constantly from 9am till 3.30pm on formal work. It’s a mix of different things each day including their own play.
Have fun and remember to keep in touch on Class Dojo or via email.

There has been lots on social media about using games consoles to access home learning and our friends at ICT in Schools, who are based at The Word in South Shields, have produced this brilliant guide explaining how to use them.
Their website is also worth a look for any other support you may need with technology, or if in doubt, do what I do, I ask my youngest daughter!
Hi everyone,
Here is our home learning overview for the next three days. Please try wherever possible to have your child doing some of the work each day. We are obviously aware that it can be difficult to keep your child on task at home, but don’t worry, as during the school day the children are not always on a teacher led task. They do have time to play and learn through their own exploration. Your child being happy and content is also very important to their development.
As you know, some children will be in school some of the time. Those children will be doing the same work in school as your child has been given online.
Please try to enjoy the time with your children as much as you can and thanks for your patience and cooperation.
Thanks,

Hi everyone!
Hope you are all ok and being good for mams and dads.
Here is this week’s work to do at home.
Have fun and remember to send your pictures to Mrs. Hotchkiss and Miss Golightly!!
Here is the overview of ideas for you to implement with your child over the next week.
Please try your very best to do some of these activities with your child on a daily basis.
We understand that it can be difficult to get your child to engage with these things at home, but any one to one activities with your child will benefit.
Try to have as much fun as you can!
Thanks

Any families self-isolating may find some useful information from our friends at The Openzone:
As a school we use the Google Suite for Education to help us in school and out of school. After experiencing remote learning before the summer holidays we have all worked hard to embrace new technologies.
We would like to remind children (and parents) that when you are logged onto our school website and using the tools which are available to you that it is solely for school work.
Conversations should be related to school and work which you have been asked to do by your teachers.
It is an amazing tool and should be used with respect.
Here is a link to some You Tube videos which may help when using Google.
Tech Toolkit for Families and Guardians
As always our school website has advice and links for all technology related issues in the e-safety tab.
Responsible Computer and Internet Use
At Ashley Primary School we use school computers and internet access for learning. The following rules will help us to keep everyone safe when using this technology.
* On the school network, I will only use my own login and password which I will keep a secret at all times.
* I will not look at, or delete other people’s files.
* I will not bring external memory drives or USB Memory Sticks into school without permission and will not use these on school machines.
* I will ask permission before entering any website, unless my teacher has already approved the site.
* When using the school website I will only use my own login and password which I will keep a secret at all times.
* I will only email people I know, or who my teacher has approved sending them appropriate and polite messages.
* I will ask permission before opening an email or an email attachment sent by a person I do not know.
* I will not use internet chat.
* If I see anything I am unhappy with or receive messages I do not like, I will tell a teacher immediately.
* I understand the school may check my computer and email files and may monitor the internet sites I visit.
* I understand that if I deliberately break these rules, I could be stopped from using the internet and computers.
From Monday 21st September, your child will bring home a sheet of homework on most days. Please could you sit with your child and complete the homework each day (if possible).
Please try to ensure that your child forms the letters correctly by following the arrows.
These sheets can then be kept at home for you and your child to revisit and keep practising regularly.
We would love to see photos of your child doing their homework uploaded onto class dojo!
Thank you,
Mrs Hotchkiss and Miss Golightly x
