Home learning highlights

Take a look at some of the home learning activities year 1 have completed so far 🌟

Google Classroom Home learning

 

Dear Parents/Carers of year 1 children,
This week we will be resuming our online learning using Google Classroom.
Work will be uploaded daily for your child to complete at home. It is important that your child continues to access as many learning opportunities as possible from home so disruption to their learning is minimised as far as possible.

Your child has only recently started accessing google classroom in school and so will still need your support and guidance.

Log in details and passwords

Each child has a unique username (email address) and password. 

You will shortly receive two separate texts - one containing the username and a second containing your child's password.

DO NOT CHANGE THIS INFORMATION!!!

If you do not receive these texts please email Miss Letherby on 

year.1@ctk.education 

and I will email you the information.

Devices

Your child will need a device to be able to use the google platform. Ipad/laptop/tablet.

Please let the school office know ASAP if you do not have access to a device as we may be able to loan equipment for the duration of isolation.

Paper work packs are also available for collection from the school office should you wish to collect one.

How it works

Please see the attached parents guide to google classroom. A link to this will also be sent out by text.

https://www.ctk.education/home-learning/parents-guide-to-google-classroom

Go to google homepage. 

Click sign in (top right hand corner of screen)

Enter child's username and password.

Once logged in click on the 9 little grey dots (top right of screen) lots of icons will appear.

Click on classroom.

There will then be three tabs

Stream, classwork, people.

Stream allows the children to type messages, attach pictures etc so they can speak to each other and their teachers - we hope that they will find this format more interactive.

Children have been spoken to about their conduct online and should ONLY post sensible, appropriate and respectable comments what they say can be seen by everyone in our classroom.

Classwork is where you will find the daily activities that are posted by the teachers. Points are allocated for each activity. Children who acquire a certain amount of points will get a prize when we return to school.

If you have any queries please don't hesitate to get in touch.

FOR PARENTS OF CLOSE CONTACTS OF COVID 19 in Year 1

Advice for Child to Self-Isolate for 14 Days 

Dear parent or carer,

We have been made aware that we have a confirmed positive case of coronavirus in Year 1.

We have followed the national guidance and have identified that any child in Year 1 could have been in close contact with the affected child. In line with the national guidance your child must stay at home and self-isolate until Tuesday 1st December, meaning children and staff will return on Wednesday 2nd December.

If your child is well at the end of the 14 days period of self-isolation, then they can return to usual activities.

Other members of your household can continue normal activities provided your child does not develop symptoms within the 14 day self-isolation period.

Please see the link to: Guidance for contacts of people with confirmed coronavirus (COVID-19) infection who do not live with the person

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-for-contacts-of-people-with-possible-or-confirmed-coronavirus-covid-19-infection-who-do-not-live-with-the-person

What to do if your child develops symptoms of COVID 19:

If your child develops symptoms of COVID-19, they should remain at home for at least 10 days from the date when their symptoms appeared. Anyone with symptoms will be eligible for testing and this can be arranged via https://www.nhs.uk/ask-for-a-coronavirus-test or by calling 119 . 

People who do not have symptoms should not request a test unless this has been specifically requested by Public Health England or the local authority.

All other household members who remain well must stay at home and not leave the house for 14 days. This includes anyone in your ‘Support Bubble’.

The 14-day period starts from the day when the first person in the house became ill.

Household members should not go to work, school or public areas and exercise should be taken within the home. If you require help with buying groceries, other shopping or picking up medication, or walking a dog, you should ask friends or family. Alternatively, you can order your shopping online and medication by phone or online.

Household members staying at home for 14 days will greatly reduce the overall amount of infection the household could pass on to others in the community

If you are able can, move any vulnerable individuals (such as the elderly and those with underlying health conditions) out of your home, to stay with friends or family for the duration of the home isolation period

Please see the link to the PHE ‘Stay at Home’ Guidance:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-stay-at-home-guidance/stay-at-home-guidance-for-households-with-possible-coronavirus-covid-19-infection

Symptoms of COVID 19

• The most common symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19) are recent onset of:
• new continuous cough and/or
• high temperature and/or
• a loss of, or change in, normal sense of taste or smell (anosmia)

For most people, coronavirus (COVID-19) will be a mild illness.

If your child does develop symptoms, you can seek advice from the nhs.uk website at https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/check-if-you-have-coronavirus-symptoms/. If you are concerned about your child’s symptoms, or they are worsening you can seek advice from NHS 111 at https://111.nhs.uk/ or by phoning 111.

How to stop COVID-19 spreading

There are things you can do to help reduce the risk of you and anyone you live with getting ill with COVID-19

Do

• wash your hands with soap and water often – do this for at least 20 seconds
• use hand sanitiser gel if soap and water are not available
• wash your hands as soon as you get home
• cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when you cough or sneeze
• put used tissues in the bin immediately and wash your hands afterwards

Why don’t you make some funny face masks or design your own sunglasses using card or even decorate an old sunhat and take some selfies or ask a parent to take a picture for you. Always ask a parent first.
