Google Classroom :

Is a free and secure learning platform for the Holy Family School community. This is a fantastic resource that has been developed specifically for schools and we are able to tailor it to provide the most appropriate environment for our children. As well as providing a safe and secure way for staff and pupils to connect with each other, we will be able to use it to post our home learning material and provide a secure way for children to upload and show us their work, should they wish to.

All the children in Year 6 have been onto Google Classroom and have competed work and Turned It In. They are all very good at using it.

Children's University/Extra Curricular

Bird Watching at HFS

 

Week beginning 25th Jan will be the Big Garden Birdwatch for HFS. Below is a nice comprehension from Twinkl for garden birds which will help with recognition if you would like to do it.

BIG GARDEN BIRD WATCH 🐦🦅🦉

Please ask your child to take part in this outdoor activity on Thursday. The BBC are running their annual Bird Watch. The children need to choose an hour that suits them/the family and count the birds you see in your garden or from your balcony. Ignore any birds that are still in flight. To avoid double-counting, just record the highest number of each bird species you see at any one time – not a running total. 

Mrs Lonergan has sent out an email to all parents detailing how to log and send back your results.

 

HAVE FUN!

WEEK BEGINNING - 4/01/21

 

Happy New Year to you all and welcome back to learning - in one way or another. 

Most of our communication will be via class email and Google Classroom so please, as we find a routine, keep checking these daily. Below is a weekly timetable to give you an idea of what we will be doing, whether in school or at home. 

 

 

• This is an indication of when subjects are taught, we will keep to this timetable as much as possible.

 

• For assembly/reflection, we will be reading the Daily Gospel using the ‘Christian Art’ website. If you would like to use this at home, this is the website:  https://www.christian.art/ 

 

• Every day between 10-11am, I will be available to answer any emails/queries you may have.

 

 

• I will email you every Friday with information about the following week’s work, any updates, and to keep in touch with you all. Please respond to Friday’s emails (even just a ‘thumbs up’ so that we know you are all well and safe).

 

 

• Work will be uploaded onto the home learning page on the school website every Friday, ready for the following week. Then it will appear on Google Classroom every morning at 9am and will have a finish deadline of 3pm the same day.

 

 

• If you do not have the subscription to Joe Wicks then please choose a PE session from the ‘year 6 PE at home’ sheet (uploaded to Google classroom and home learning page on school website).

 

 

 

 

I have also included a list of extra websites for your information should you wish your child to do any other work at home.
