Monday 22nd February 2021
Hello wonderful Woodpeckers-welcome back.
I hope you had a great half-term holiday.
Please see below and the tabs on the left for the timetable, resources, attachments and tutorials you need. I have added extra tutorials for those of you who feel you need more support.
Changes:
1) Once your work is complete please send me only one piece of work a day.
Some brilliant pieces of work will still be put on our class celebration page.
2) We will now meet at 8:30am Monday-Friday on Teams not zoom. These will start from Tuesday 23rd February. There will be no class call today.
To get on Teams: Open the email I sent on Friday 19th February at 8:27am, at the bottom of the email it says 'Microsoft Teams meeting' underneath it says 'Join on your computer or mobile app' and 'Click here to join the meeting.' If you click this link it will give you the option to 'join with browser or download', then you join with 'browser'.
3) Extra support tutorials every day.
4) In the afternoons, Mrs Mitchell and Miss Fermor have set five tasks for the week-see the video and activities below. These can be completed with siblings or friends (via zoom etc) if you wish.
I am in a training session today from 10am to 12, so might not be able to answer any emails during this time. However, I will get back to you as soon as I can.
If you have any questions please email me on:

Have a lovely day,
Miss Stuart
