Message from Miss Ford 7.5.20

Dear parents, carers and all my Lawns Parkers,
This letter will be with you on Thursday this week due to the Bank Holiday. By the time you read it
restrictions may have been relaxed and we might have some idea about how schools will start to open
again.
Thank you so much for showing your Lawns Park spirit and getting involved in the Star Wars Day maths challenge on Monday, you really did show that Darth Rowlands that Lawns Parkers are NOT weak minded! Please check the Star Wars slide show on the Homelearning page, which shows how creative and hard working you all are!

We have another challenge for you coming soon…..the Lawns Park Bake Off. Please check the
homelearning page for details of the Bake Off challenge.

We have always said that we appreciate how challenging homelearning can be and we also understand
the difficulties you face with the number and types of devices you have available, as well as the fact that not many people have printers available. We have listened to your feedback and we are proposing a new way of working which we hope will simplify things and reduce expected time spent on
homelearning.

As of wb11.5.20 you will be able to access the new weekly timetable on your child’s class page. It is
based on Bitesize and follows the same basic structure each week. Each timetable has a minimum
requirement of homelearning, which should last from an hour to an hour and a half per day. Pupils can
then choose to do more using the menu of extra activities at the bottom of the timetable in yellow.
There will also be a limited selection of topic based activities which are designed to last over a two week period. We will also endeavour to ensure that activities are possible without a printer or can be
recorded by hand.

Please don’t forget that next week is the final week of our spellings focus, so keep going learning your
year group spellings.

Schoop and the website are our main means of communication. If you don’t have Schoop please
download the app. If you need help to do this please email the school at info@lawnspark.org.uk and we
can send you some easy to follow instructions. Failing that, contact us by telephone.

Finally, I hope that you have a fabulous bank holiday weekend. Please take care of yourselves and others around you.
