Scavenger Hunt
Welcome back to our virtual Summer term! I hope you have had an enjoyable Easter holiday and enjoyed the lovely weather. The Google Classrooms have re-opened this morning and more learning will be set by the teachers on Friday. For today’s website challenge, Living Streets have created a scavenger hunt, which I have uploaded below. You could complete it during your daily walk or even create your own scavenger hunt for inside or outside your home.
Oak National Academy
Oak National Academy is a new collection of high-quality lessons and online resources. Backed by the Government, it has been created in response to the coronavirus lockdown.
Their online classroom offers free access to great teachers, delivering video lessons, quizzes and worksheets. Available for both primary and secondary levels, it covers a range of subjects. All of the lessons are ordered so your child can learn along a clear plan. They will provide new lessons and resources each week.

BBC Bitesize
Although we’re still on our Easter holidays, most of the country were supposed to be going back to school today. To support home learning, the BBC have developed daily lessons to support all year groups. Lessons can be accessed online or through the red button on your TV.

Reading
Good morning everyone! For my last post before the Easter holidays, I’d like to encourage one thing – reading!
As a school, we are part of the Coventry Schools Library Service. They have been working hard to support home learning by putting together a virtual Reading Club for all Coventry children to be able to access. The virtual reading club gives children an opportunity to submit book reviews and take part in mini challenges. They will have a rolling program of mini challenges over the next couple of months to keep it fresh. The first 2 are a mini Easter Reading challenge where the children are asked to read and review 3 books and also an illustration challenge where children can create their own book character and submit it to win a prize. It also has downloads to support parents in encouraging reading for pleasure at home, links to free reading resources and a Book doctor (where you can contact our specialist librarians for advice on what to read next).
