Structuring the day
Do not worry about trying to maintain a full routine for your child like they had at school. But children will feel more comfortable and learn better with a predictable routine to the day, even if this is difficult.
Generally, you should try to make sure that they:
Set age-appropriate parental controls on any devices your child is using and supervise their use of websites and apps. See advice on keeping them safe online at https://www.thinkuknow.co.uk/parents/ and talk to your child about online safety.
Digital devices are not the only way to learn. Manage screen time with a timer and break up screen time by getting your child to:
Reception, year 1 and year 2 children
The best way to help children aged 4 to 7 learn is to:
Talk with your child throughout the day and try to explain new words. For example, discuss everything you are doing and pick out words that might be new to them.
When you read with your child try to:
You can make a story more interesting and help your child develop their understanding of a book by linking what you are reading to their life. For example, while reading about Cinderella going to the ball, talk about how a ball is similar to a birthday party.
Ask your child questions about what you are reading as you go. For example:
Try to help children to continue to practise their writing. This may include the formation of letters and familiarity with pens and pencils for younger children, or practising creative writing for older children.
Ask children to write about their day-to-day experiences of being at home, or to write letters to send to family members.
Practise counting and numbers. This does not always have to be a planned activity. For example, count things around the house while you are doing other things like cooking or cleaning.
Year 3 to 6 children
The best way to help children aged 7 to 11 learn is to:
Talk to your child about what they are reading. This will help them understand what they have read and encourage them to read for fun.
Ask your child questions about what they are reading. For example:
Try to help children practise their writing. Work from school may be sent digitally, but using pen and paper will help children be ready for when they go back to school.
Blended Learning Statement
At Gunter Primary School we understand the importance of a well-rounded, fulfilling curriculum to prepare our pupils for their next stage of education, and for their future as citizens of the UK.
We believe that the School Curriculum should be broad and balanced and underpinned by clear aims, values and purpose. Our curriculum is based on the National Curriculum, but there are many other opportunities that make up the wider curriculum. These are designed to inspire and challenge all children, prepare them for the future and aid them in their ‘strive for excellence’.
We also believe passionately in developing the whole person and giving our children ownership of their learning. Our curriculum is rich with first-hand, purposeful experiences and is designed to be flexible and responsive to individual needs and interests. We support our children in becoming ‘aspirational’ – aiming high – in order to make the most of their learning opportunities and we believe in an active partnership between school, pupil and home.
Where home learning is needed, this is high-quality, safe and aligns as closely as possible with our in-school provision. In the case of a bubble or whole school closure, we will provide both online lessons via Microsoft Teams, and carefully chosen online resources from a range of trusted suppliers. This will be supplemented by regular contact being maintained with pupils unable to attend, in order to ensure adequate safeguarding, provide support for families, and maximise pupils commitment to learning from home.
Where an individual pupil is unable to attend due to self-isolation, signposting to online lessons and activities will be provided whilst face to face teaching continues in school.
Provision
In line with DfE guidance, all schools are expected to plan to ensure any pupils educated at home for some of the time are given the support they need to master the curriculum and so make good progress.
For individuals or groups of self-isolating pupils, we will ensure remote education plans are in place. This will be achieved by matching our curriculum to the best available resources both printed and online – and taking into account the facilities available to our families.
This approach is only for children not attending school in circumstances related to Coronavirus.
We will:
When teaching pupils remotely, we will:
