Transcript School Website

School Website
• On our school website parents can
access a huge amount of information
about the school, for example term
dates, newsletters, PTFA events,
school staff and governors.
• The website also holds information
about what your children are learning
in school. Curriculum overviews can
be accessed through the Curriculum
tab on the menu down the left hand
side of the screen.
• All of our school policies can also be
accessed through the school website,
these include, Attendance, Bullying
and many more.
• Please refer to the Safeguarding and
Child Protection policy.
School Comms
• School comms allows us as a school to keep parents up to date with
events taking place in school.
• Every Friday an email is sent to all parents to remind them about
anything that may be happening in school during the following week.
• Emails may be sent specifically to the parents of children in individual
year groups, for example if Year One are going on a trip a reminder
will be sent to their parents only.
• It is therefore very important that the office have a correct and up to
date email address for each parent.
The Traffic Light System
• Each classroom will have a traffic light up on the wall, with the green
light at the top and the red light at the bottom.
• Each child’s name will start on the green light.
• If a child misbehaves they will be given a verbal warning. If this
behaviour reoccurs they will be moved down onto the amber light.
Further bad behaviour will lead to their name being moved down to
the red light.
• Good behaviour will be praised and will result in a child’s name being
moved back up to the above light.
• If by the end of the day a child has not been moved back up to the
green light, they will miss five minutes of Special Time on a Friday
afternoon.
• Children’s names will all start on the green light every morning
regardless of which light they were on when they left school on the
previous day.
Home learning
Aims
• To promote a love for learning outside of school
• To extend the children’s learning
• To enable children to engage in a task with their parents
• To improve their speaking and listening skills
• To introduce peer assessment
• Each individual year group will set their own home learning according to
their topic
• Each year group will set their home learning different times so please look
carefully at the date it is due to be returned.
• When the home learning is returned the children are expected to share
their work with the class and discuss what they have done and what they
have learnt. The class will then provide some feedback about what they
thought they did well and what they could do better.
• The teacher will then provide the children with verbal feedback about their
work and award stickers.
• There are lots of different ways of doing home learning. This enables each
child to create a piece of work that is individual to their interests and
abilities.
• We value every piece of work.
• Mathletics is a web-based learning program that integrates home and
school learning via the internet. It is one of the world's most used
educational websites. As an online learning resource it is in line with the
next generation in learning.
• Differentiation - One of the core objectives of Mathletics is to provide
content of an appropriate level of difficulty for all abilities. Teachers can
modify and personalise a curriculum plan meet your childs needs.
• Assessment for Learning - Teachers receive all data how your child is
progressing. This means that they can target their teaching both in class
and individual basis to where it is most needed.
•
You can access mathletics via the internet at :
www.mathletics.co.uk
Each child will have a password at the back of their red reading comment
book.
Each child will have a mathletics
achievement page in their Big
Books so that they can be proud of
their achievements!
Mathletics also provides its own
reward system in the form of
credits. The more points they earn
the more credits they can spend in
the mathletics shop for their avatar.
Every week the teacher will be
keeping a record of who is
accessing Mathletics at home. The
child will be rewarded in school if
they have been using mathletics at
home. This will hopefully
encourage the children to use the
programme.
