And we’ve reached February! We kick off the week in our usual way…
…with links to the school assemblies. Last week, the theme was respect, including self-respect. This week, we develop that by thinking about respect in the context of communities. This links with the Living and Learning message ‘I respect my communities and other communities’.
- Mrs Weekes leads the Moortown Primary assembly
- the Scholes (Elmet) Primary assembly is led by Miss Hague
- Mrs Rowley leads the St James’ CE Primary collective worship
Your child can watch the assembly at any time during the week. It would be great if you follow it up with a conversation at home about respect and community:
- What communities do you belong to?
- How do you show respect within these communities?
- What other communities are there?
- How do you show respect towards these communities? Why is this important?
Last Monday, we featured a link to a newspaper article about the stresses of home schooling. Following his, we featured some top tips to try to help you with this, and we shared some more on Friday. This weekend, the same newspaper had more guidance that you might find useful: ‘Learn to say ‘I don’t know’: teachers’ tips for parents weary of lockdown 2 schooling’.
By the way, in case you hadn’t spotted it, we’ve added a link on the homepage of our website to take you straight to home learning – it’s in the blue banner just below the pics.
To help you a little more, look out for a new initiative to help with home learning coming later this week.
