Blended Remote Learning Pack 2
–
YEAR 5
13/01/2021
Please note each pack will cover at least 7 days of learning – this does not mean that Waterfield will not re-open in those 7 days, this is done to give continuity and contingency in the event of extended closure.
This pack contains daily lessons for your child to complete. Lessons are divided into morning and afternoon.
Mornings consist of an English and Maths based lesson.
In the afternoon’s children may choose one of the activities that corresponds to a foundation subject (Science, Humanities, Music, Art etc.)
On occasion teachers may expand a foundation subject lesson asking everyone in class to complete that lesson in the afternoon.
Learning is ‘blended’ – this means children are provided both with ONLINE resources to teach them and paper copy resources – allowing fair access for all.
Waterfield already supports digital online learning through a wide variety of digital platforms. Children may be directed to use these platforms in various lessons but can also use them optionally to complete learning, practice core skills and help resource themselves at home.

Waterfield will also be using GOOGLE CLASSROOM (technology dependent) we will be inviting all children to start each day with a GOOGLE MEET – this acts as a registration and allows the teacher to check in and talk through the assignments/lessons for the day. Sometimes the teacher may extend the GOOGLE MEET and use this time to teach the input to the first English or Maths Lesson.
All children have access to their Google Classroom through their username (although this looks like an email address please don’t worry it is not).
Each Google Classroom will have a forum where children can check in with their teachers and ask for help/clarification. Please keep in mind our teachers are still teaching in school so will check the forum at set times. Each teacher will clearly outline how and when they will be on Google Classroom each day, but your child can expect contact at least once after the Google Meet.
If you cannot access Google Classroom please do not worry, the Blended Remote Packs are designed so everyone can access their learning regardless of the technology they have at home.
All children are expected to be engaged in learning for at least 4 hours a day.
Take time to use our guide timetable – remember reading, simple arithmetic and practicing handwriting can always be used to supplement extra learning. We will also be giving out the Take
Home Tasks for the NEW Vehicle for Learning/Topic on our website on Friday – so children will have plenty to do.
An Example DAILY TIMETABLE 9:00 – 9:30 Guided Reading
