Home Learning Week 6
Supporting your SEN LearnerThe learning activities suggested by Year Groups are provided to ensure children experience a wide range of tasks, whilst learning at home. In school, these activities are adjusted for individual pupils, who have a special educational need (SEN), to ensure that they can make progress with their learning. Please make any adjustments to the learning tasks that you believe will enable your child to learn from the activity. Some examples of this are to: chunk activities into smaller parts; scribe for your child or encourage the child to use a word processor; share the reading of a text; show your child one question at a time; adjust words or numbers to enable understanding; limit focus time to 15-20 minutes before having a 5 minute conversation/physical movement; give much praise and encouragement to complete a task. You may also wish to encourage your child to practice typing skills. BBC Dancemat is a programme for children which supports this learning and is recommended for home use.

Supporting your More Able LearnerFor children who show a very good understanding of a particular task, please set an extension task. For example, this may be to research an area of interest and present this to the family, relate the learning to everyday life situations, or set five or more questions and ask a family member to answer them. Children can generate their own ideas as to how they can further their learning too. You may wish to extend your children's' thinking (and therefore learning) by asking open questions (higher order questions), such as "How...?" and "Why...?". These questions often generate a longer and more considered response from learners and therefore challenge children to reflect on ideas, whilst also using their reasoning skills. Consider different ways in which children can share and apply their understanding e.g. an understanding of addition in maths can be used / applied when adding up the items in your trolley at the supermarket (or your online shopping basket)

Latest Handwashing Advice
Please find below the latest guidance directed to us from the Department for Education.
It is essential that everyone washes their hands more often, using soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Hand washing with soap employs mechanical action that loosens bacteria and viruses from the skin, rinsing them into the drain. Drying hands afterwards makes the skin less hospitable to the virus. Hand sanitiser can be effective if soap is not available or the situation makes using soap less feasible (i.e. when outside) but using hand sanitiser provides none of the virus-destroying friction that rubbing your hands together and rinsing with water provides.
The latest guidance and video on hand washing can be found at:
· https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-information-for-the-public
The e-Bug project is led by Public Health England and has a dedicated webpage for learning resources on hand washing and respiratory hygiene.
Resources are currently available for KS1, KS2 and KS3 and can be used in various settings including schools and at home:
