Tuesday 5th January 2021
Good morning everyone, We hope you’re all ok and that you received our emails including your log in details for SeeSaw, Bug Club and TT RockStars. Activities for each lesson should appear at the time that is allocated on the timetable that was attached to your email ( We have also attached it here) and should stay there for the rest of the day for you to complete.
Whilst we have had a look at this in class, we have also included a link to a tutorial for how to add your response to an activity here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5jG9VoROFs which would be useful to watch with an adult before starting your work. The link can be copied and pasted into your internet browser. We sent your learning codes in your emails yesterday.
Today is the first day of our home learning so all we ask is that you take your time, try your best and please don’t worry!
If you have an problems, please let us know.
Thanks,
Miss Weston and Mr Burbridge
Welcome to Class 7! My name is Mr Burbridge and I am going to be your Year 3 teacher this year. The other adults in our class are Mrs Munn and Miss McIntosh. We have made a wonderful start to Year 3 and we can’t wait to lead your learning as the year develops.
Important Information
We have P.E on Monday and Friday. Please ensure your child’s full P.E. kit is in school for those days. PE kits will be sent home at the end of each half term.
All children will require a water bottle. Please ensure this contains water only. Children will be able to refill their bottles in class.
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.
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: i.burbridge@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. More information can be found in the letter below. If you have any questions about Bug Club or need your child’s login information, please email me at: i.burbridge@northcote.liverpool.sch.uk
Your child can login to Bug Club here: http://www.activelearnprimary.co.uk
If you are having trouble accessing Bug Club via your device, please try the following steps:
- Go to ‘Settings’ and select ‘Safari’
- Switch off ‘Prevent Cross-site tracking’
If you are still having problems, please contact your child’s class teacher and we will investigate further.
Thank you for your ongoing patience and support.
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
