ANSON PRIMARY SCHOOL Class 4 – Week 4 Weekly Learning TasksNotice: If you would like your work or photos of what you have been up to this week to appear on our Class 4 ‘Wall of Fame’, please ask a parent to email your work to the class 4 email address (anson.class4@tssmat.staffs.sch.uk). Please also mention whether or not your parents are happy for the work or photo to be displayed on the website.Why have Weekly Learning Tasks been created? Weekly learning tasks have been created as a result of the ongoing risk of schools shutting due to the Coronavirus outbreak across the UK. Based on this very real and increasing threat, class teachers have therefore written a set of weekly learning tasks which can be completed by your child whilst schools are closed for a set duration. In creating the weekly learning tasks we fully acknowledge that they cannot replace the quality of learning your child receives at school however, our complete focus has been on creating a set of tasks that all children can access to maximise their learning whilst at home. What are the aims of the Weekly Learning Tasks? To create age specific learning opportunities for primary school children. To create a resource for parents that is easy to access and use - the focus is on parents being able to help deliver the content or children accessing it independently. Key learning is linked to the National Curriculum. To enable children to continue with their learning at home during an enforced shutdown. To provide structure and focus to each day when an enforced shutdown occurs. To centralise online learning resources and links into an easy to manage format for families. How do I use the Learning Tasks? As a parent your first step read the ideas outlined in this document. There is no set time that you should spend on each time but a suggested timetable has been created to help. However it is very much your parental choice how you structure your day and you may wish for your child to spend less or more time on activities.A mailbox has been set up to receive emails only for any work set outside of the educational programs we use. Please feel free to send work, photographs to your class teacher using the following email address is: anson.class4@tssmat.staffs.sch.ukWe are unable to reply to any emails sent to this address.

The class teacher will make every effort to respond within 2 working days.?A Suggested Timetable (Just a guide to how a typical day may run).

Our first piece of advice to parents is that ALL children find elements of learning challenging at times so try not to worry if your child becomes stuck and you cannot explain it to them. If this happens then make a note of what they found hard and move onto another learning activity - the school will try their best to cover any misconceptions when we return.MathsWe have now made the decision to use the White-Rose Maths resources. This change has been made to give children further learning support. Instructions: -1714518796000Access the website appropriate for your year group.

Deserted. Abandoned in the attic. After making the discovery, Anna had gazed and marvelled at it for some time. Where had it come from? Why had no dust settled upon it, as it had done over everything else that resided in her parent’s attic? A layer of the thick dust blanketed the attic floor, and as the sunlight glared through the attic windows, the dust particles yet to settle were illuminated as they hovered in the stuffy air. Yet, the mirror looked flawless, untouched by age, not a finger print in sight.Anna propped the mirror up against one of the thick, timber beams that jutted from the attic floor.
