As you know children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 6 are coming back to school soon. They will be in smaller classes. This means some of our teachers will be teaching new classes. For those of you who have to stay at home for now, a different teacher will be reading your emails and checking your work, but don’t worry it’s the same email address to contact them and they have already found out so much about you!

At the end of each foundation subject’s learning journey, your child can photograph and return their learning as detailed below.
The Oak National lessons are pre-recorded so they can be accessed at any time.
Your child will need a pen/pencil and access to paper or an exercise book.

This is your penultimate week of learning. We will set work on Monday 13th July too.
Over the next few weeks, we would like you to think about the effects of religion on culture and architecture. 1) Choose an Iconic religious building 2) Research and write about the sculptures, artefacts, exterior and interior. How do they link to the faith practiced there? 3) You might also draw or make the building out of any materials.
Present your work in any way you choose - Powerpoint, photos, video or maybe as a piece of writing in any genre.
Want some inspiration? click here for a list of famous religious buildings. St Peter's in the Vatican, Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, La Segrada Familia Barcelona, Angkor Wat Cambodia, Kaaba Mecca, Taoist Temple, St Paul's Cathedral London and Tempio Maggiore Italy are just a few you could choose from.
Email your project by Tuesday 14th July 2020.
In addition to the above, children will also learn a lot from the following ‘off-line’ activities:
The application tasks for writing, maths, Science and History can be emailed to your child’s class teacher to their email address:
Teachers will respond with feedback, replies may take up to 3 days.
Teachers will not respond during evenings, weekends, school holidays or when they are working in school.
Teachers will use any work your child emails to assess their learning for this term. We would like to know what your child is working on at home, so if teachers do not receive an email from you or your child they may contact you.
This year in school we have been exploring the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and how we can play our part as global citizens. Recently Earth School was launched which is a 30-day home-schooling journey to connect children to nature. https://ed.ted.com/earth-school

It is important to look after your physical and mental health during this difficult time and staying physically active is a great way of doing that. Although many of us are practising social distancing and staying at home more than we may do normally, there are still lots of things you can do at home to keep your physical activity levels up. Below are 2 very good resources to get you started. Please let Mr Thomas know via email if you have any questions or suggestions.
For the coming months we are also going to change the criteria for our Fielding Sporting Stars page on the website. We want to see videos or photos of what you are doing at home in order to stay active. It could be taking part in one of the ideas below, doing some cosmic yoga or a fitness video online or absolutely anything else. https://www.fieldingprimary.com/fielding-sporting-stars/
Also keep an eye out for the new ‘Fielding’s Always Active’ Challenge which will be coming soon to the website.
Stay active and stay healthy.

Times Tables Rockstars!
Times Tables Rockstars is a online programme we have introduced to encourage children to have fun with multiplication facts while improving fluency, recall and speed. Children can access it in their own time on any IOS, Android or Windows device.
What is it?
Times Tables Rock Stars is a carefully sequenced programme of times tables practice. This programme has very successfully boosted times tables recall speed for hundreds of thousands of pupils over the last 7 years in over 4500 schools - both primary and secondary - worldwide.
How does it work?
Incorrect answers are always immediately corrected in front of your child so that they start to associate the correct answer to every question. The clever code behind the scenes works out which times tables facts each child is consistently taking longer to answer and then it gradually starts to present these facts more frequently until they have mastered them. It will also ask related division questions 20% of the time in order to reinforce division facts.
Is this instead of the times table challenge completed in class?
No, this is to supplement the times tables challenge, giving children a fun way to practise and challenge themselves.
How do I log in?
Log in here: https://ttrockstars.com/login, use your child'd details that came home at the end of the Summer Term, lost them? Speak to your child's class teacher.
