Dear Parents/Carers,

Further to Mrs Mitchell’s email updating you on the changes we will be making to home learning, I am writing to tell you more about the challenges that will be set each week.

Every week, a video will be added to your child’s timetable on Monday (which will be available by Sunday evening), which will briefly explain the five different challenges for the week. There will also be a PDF listing the challenges which will be attached to your child’s class timetable webpage each day. Together, you and your child can choose how many challenges you do and the extent to which they will be completed.  Two of the five challenges will be larger, project based challenges.

The challenges will allow your child to be creative and to showcase their talents and abilities (article 29). There aren’t any restrictions in terms of how the work should be presented and what they must produce. We also hope that this will support family’s individual circumstances.

On the next page, we have included some information about how to use the TASC wheel to help support thinking and learning throughout a challenge. Please note that this is here for guidance only.  

Please find more information about the challenges in our video:

If you have any questions or require support, please contact your child’s class teacher. Please do also have a look at the videos and documents on the ‘supporting home learning page’ of the website under the ‘Parents’ tab.

Thank you for your continued support.

Kind regards,

Jess Fermor
