Shropshire Music service home learning activities

At Shropshire Music Service we have been designing home learning packs for our schools to use during lockdown periods. Alongside this we have put together some music activity sheets specifically designed for children who are at home to be able to access easily with materials they will have around them.

Outside play and exercising with children during lockdown

After being made aware of a potential play group bubble being formed we would like to share the government guidance about what you can and can’t do during lockdown.  We are understandably trying to keep the school as safe as possible for our critical worker and vulnerable children, our staff and community.

This is the official government guidance (full document)

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/national-lockdown-stay-at-home?priority-taxon=774cee22-d896-44c1-a611-e3109cce8eae#exercising

Taken from the above document:

Public outdoor places include:

  • parks, beaches, countryside accessible to the public, forests
  • public and botanical gardens (whether or not you pay to enter them)
  • the grounds of a heritage site
  • public playgrounds

Playgrounds are primarily open for use by children who do not have access to private outdoor space, like their own garden. Although you can take your children to a playground for exercise, you must not socialise with other people while there.

Rev Rich’s weekly prayer

Loving Father God,
This week, we give thanks and pray for all those who care for us, including:
our parents and carers,
our teachers and teaching assistants,
the staff of Shawbury Stars,
doctors, nurses and the emergency services,
key workers who keep us safe, warm and fed.
Lord, teach us to be grateful for all the care we receive.
Help us to be caring to others
and to follow in the footsteps of your Son, Jesus Christ.
Amen.

Remote learning – survey results

We would like to thank all of the parents who responded to our remote learning survey.
Please see below an overview of the results and responses to any queries or comments:
How good do you feel the home learning offer at the school is currently?
Star Wand Cliparts - Smiling Stars Clipart - Png Download (#448748) - PinClipart3.88 Average Rating out of 5
Is there enough work being set at the moment?
Star Wand Cliparts - Smiling Stars Clipart - Png Download (#448748) - PinClipart4.51 Average Rating out of 5
Are your children receiving feedback on the work they are submitting?
Star Wand Cliparts - Smiling Stars Clipart - Png Download (#448748) - PinClipart4.58 Average Rating out of 5
Queries:
Zoom/online lessons
School response: Our teachers are currently in class full time, teaching our critical and vulnerable children. Our numbers in school don’t allow for teachers to have release time or work on a rota basis which would enable them to teach lessons via zoom or teams. Please also remember there is no expectation from the DfE that teachers provide online ‘live’ lessons. We are however, hoping to set up weekly zoom catch up sessions for each class so children and staff can talk about their work and have a chat with friends they are missing and still feel very much part of the class.
Too much work being set
School response: This lockdown we have decided to set the same work for children in class as those home learning. We understand that this may be seem a lot for you to deliver with your child/ren, but we don’t want you to feel overwhelmed or under pressure to complete all the work, please do what you feel is best for your child/ren and you. Please don’t feel you will be judged if you haven’t managed to send completed work in on time or haven’t completed all work, just do your best.
You are doing a great job and we can’t wait for everyone to be back together!

Blue Peter on YouTube

We would like to inform you that we have launched Blue Peter on YouTube at CBBC and we were wondering if your pupils and parents would be interested in this, for entertainment outside of home-schooling hours now we’re in lockdown.

 Blue Peter is the longest running kids TV show in the world and we are uploading videos to it that are suitable for 5-11 year olds. We have world record breaking challenges, arts and crafts, environmental videos, cooking and baking how tos, inspirational films, gaming, celebrity appearances, dance routines and music performances. We also feature ways of getting a Blue Peter badge, behind the scenes footage and extra content about our incredible presenters Adam, Lindsey, Mwaksy, Richie and Henry the Blue Peter dog.

 If you think your pupils would be interested in this, please do send this out to your parents and ask them to subscribe to https://www.youtube.com/bluepeter – (it’s obviously completely free to subscribe!) and don’t forget to watch the live programme on CBBC at 5.00pm every Thursday, or on BBC iPlayer.

 Thanks so much for your time,

The Blue Peter Team!
