Out of School Learning
Year 4
Dear parents & carers of a wonderful Y4 child,
As you are aware, Sheffield schools will be closed for a short period due to the Coronavirus (COVID- 19). We want to minimise the impact this will have on your child’s learning so we have put together this bank of ideas to ensure your child will continue learning and consolidating their understanding whilst being away from school. In addition, we would ask that you access theactivities that have been set here on a daily basis by Mrs Hill (Mon to Fri on normal school days).
#OnlineSafetyAtHome: activity packs for parents & carers
Children may well be using the internet more than usual at the moment so it is a good time to emphasise how to keep safe online. CEOP have produced lots of great resources which can be accessed at:
Calling all members of TASS. We need your help!
We are very aware that across the city there are elderly people in our nursing homes that are struggling with Lockdown. They are unable to have visitors and these are difficult times for them.
Your mission is to cheer them up. Maybe you could draw them a lovely colourful picture or write them a poem. You could even write them a letter about what you have been doing to keep busy during these tricky times.
When you have finished post your work to school. We will then laminate them and pass them on to one
of our parents who will make sure they are delivered to the people that need them.
Your efforts will really help to make a difference to somebody’s day. Let’s fill the nursing homes with colour and positive messages!
