Despite the extraordinary circumstances we find ourselves in, we are determined to deliver a curriculum that ensures our pupils continue to learn and engage as learners. For the last two weeks of the Spring Term, we managed to move our teaching and learning to Google Classroom and we were overjoyed to see that the vast majority of our pupils could access and wanted to access this on a daily basis, following the timetable and expectations we shared. We continued the curriculum we had already set for the term to provide consistency for our pupils. Now we have had time to listen to feedback and reflect on the successes, we have planned a summer term curriculum which should maximise the impact and levels of engagement during the period of learning from home. Each day, the following lessons and activities will be on your child’s timetable: Maths (1 hour) - we continue to follow our scheme ‘Maths No Problem’ and the children have a maths book and workbook at home to complete activities in. We will also encourage daily practise of basic skills such as number bonds and times tables. On Fridays, we will set tasks on MyMaths to check learning from the week or practise calculation skills. English (1 hour) - this will vary between activities on grammar, punctuation and spelling skills, some short or more extended writing tasks and reading comprehension. In EYFS, Year 1 and 2 this will include a daily phonics lesson. Reading for pleasure (20 minutes) Physical activity - either a PE activity or suggested movement break. We encourage Joe Wicks each morning at 9am - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyCLoPd4VxBtWi7RnRLz6qHgOqWiB_LrH We acknowledge that many families have more than one child at Gallions and therefore we are setting our wider curriculum subjects across the school to encourage siblings to work together, share resources and even create some joint outcomes. Across the term, these subjects will be taught in the following weekly blocks: Mondays will become ‘Musical Mondays’ , where all year-groups will have singing assembly and musicianship lessons on their timetable. Wednesdays will become ‘Wondering Wednesdays’ , where a philosophy activity will be set with discussion encouraged. Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Weeks 4 & 5 Art Design Technology (DT) Science Geography
