Welcome to the Barasingha Page!

Home Learning January 2021

Please see above, the timetable for home learning that is in place from January. As you can see from the timetable we will be setting: English and Maths daily; Reading 3x a week; Grammar 2x a week and Learning Journey 2x a week. Your child can still continue to use the educational apps they have log ins to, which were sent home in their home learning packs. We would also expect your child to still be reading a book they enjoy each day.

TEAMS Meetings

Each day we will be having a morning meeting at 10:00 am (Thursdays 11:00 am) and an afternoon meeting at 2:00 pm. There will be no meetings on a Tuesday, but the work will still be uploaded with instructions and the chat can still be used. In the morning meeting we will take a register of who attends the meeting and will explain the work for that day. In the afternoon meeting we will use this to explain any problems from that day that people found whilst also using this time for other things such as reading a class story. Please click HERE to find out how to access these meetings from TEAMS. Our letter sent home which contains further details of how the meetings will proceed, can be downloaded HERE.

Welcome To Barasingha Class - September 2020

Hello and welcome to the Barasingha Class page. 

We are really looking forward to another great year! We have lots of exciting learning and opportunities lined up, which we are sure you will all enjoy. School will feel a bit different this year. However, within our class bubble, we will try and bring back normality as much as we can. Currently, our class will start school at 8:55 am and finish at 3:15 pm, to avoid overcrowding in the collection points. Please do look out for any ParentMails or letters that are sent out during the year for any changes to this.

Reading at home is vital and daily reading will help your child to progress and access all areas of the curriculum. It is also an opportunity for your child to relax, unwind and experience the world beyond their own experiences. Your child will be given a reading book which they can take home to read. Once the book is read, or if your child decides they don’t like the book, they will be able to change it. All books that are brought back to school will be ‘quarantined’ before being put back onto the shelf for someone else to read. Please only transfer the school reading books to and from school; no home books are to be brought in at this time.  

In Year 4, we have a big push on times tables, so as much practise at home as possible would be brilliant! By the end of Year 4 it is expected that children are able to recall multiplication and division facts for all times tables up to 12x12. We have lots of apps and websites that the children know how to use to help aid their learning. Please ask if you need any reminders about logins.  

PE days will be communicated throughout the year.  For Term 1 they are on Mondays and Wednesdays and on these days pupils will need to come to school in their PE kit. Please ensure your child has suitable clothing for outdoor PE on these days as we will be outside as much as possible for PE lessons. These days may change throughout the year but these changes will be communicated if and when they happen. 

Please get in touch with us via email or phone the office.  We are always hear to help and answer any questions you may have.  

Best wishes,

Mr Togher, Mrs Litten and Mrs Bell
