Pupils
Welcome to Class 10!
Teacher: Mrs Monks
LSA: Miss Simpson
Miss Rogers
We trust that you are safe and well and that you have had an enjoyable, peaceful Christmas break. As you are aware, we will be moving to home learning. Children will be set work on SeeSaw each day according to our normal class timetable. Children will complete the work on the app and we will be able to provide feedback. Please note that children who are not accessing their work will be contacted via telephone to encourage learning and monitor wellbeing. Please do let us know if you have any problems accessing the website, SeeSaw, TT rockstars or bug club.
Here is the timetable for this week; the slots are the same as in school so as to keep children in a routine as best we can, though I do appreciate that this is difficult whilst at home.
As always, we appreciate your ongoing support during these unprecedented times. Do not hesitate to contact us should you require any further support or advice with your child’s home learning.
Keep safe!
Mrs Monks, Miss Simpson & Miss Rogers
THIS WEEK’S SPELLINGS (1st – 5th Feb):
English – Reading
Make sure you answer the comprehension questions for each of the books you are reading. To do this, you need to look for the little bug picture on the pages of your books and click on them. Every time you click on a bug, a question comes up for you to answer.

Geography: Mediterranean Homework
In Geography, we are learning lots about the Mediterranean Sea and the countries that surround it. For your homework, can you pick a country that has a coast on the Mediterranean and research it?
You should include the following information about your country:
- Location
- Population
- Climate
- Bordering countries
- Physical features (such as mountains/rivers)
You can present your homework however you like! When you finish, ask a trusted adult at home to email your work to me and we can share it on our class page.

Home Learning
Should your child be isolating at home, they will be able to access learning tasks on this page. These will be linked to some of the work we will be doing in class. Please feel free to send in pictures of your child’s home learning as we would love to see what they are getting up to. You can email me at: j.monks@northcote.liverpool.sch.uk
Reading
It is very important that your child keeps up their reading at home. Children will still be expected to read at least four times a week, using one of our online resources:
Bug Club
All children have now been allocated a login for Bug Club. Bug Club gives your child access to at home reading books at their specific reading level. Children can access the reading books online and progress through the reading levels with your support at home.
If you have any questions about Bug Club or need your child’s login information, please email me at j.monks@northcote.liverpool.sch.uk
Your child can login to to Bug Club here: http://www.activelearnprimary.co.uk
- Go to ‘Settings’ and select ‘Safari’
- Switch off ‘Prevent Cross-site tracking’
Reading Plus
Some children are currently accessing Reading Plus in school. If so, they will be able to log in at home. Children can access stories online, which helps develop their fluency, understanding and vocabulary. Children’s progress can be monitored by myself, therefore, it’s a great way for me to see how your child is progressing.
Your child can log in to Reading Plus here: https://student.readingplus.com/seereader/api/sec/login

Important Information
- We have P.E on Tuesday and Wednesday. Please ensure your child’s full P.E. kit is in school for those days. P.E kits will be sent home at the end of each half term.
- In order to keep everyone safe, please stand behind the marked area at drop off and pick up times. This will ensure all children and staff have space to enter and exit their marked area safely. Remember to wear a face covering if you are able to.
- All children will require a water bottle. Please ensure this contains water only. Children will be able to refill their bottles in class.
