That's sweet though Flora!
Sproglette WhatsApped me to tell say "Guess what I'm learning about in PHSE"
". "P-U-B-E-R-T-Y! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
This half term Y1 were set a week's worth of work, to be done by the children on the week at home rotation. That meant those children at home had a week's worth of English and Maths tasks to do over two weeks. They've now said they can't do it any more but the Trust will be setting something (that our school teachers won't be available to support). It makes sense from a resource perspective but I can't be arsed getting used to something new for a few weeks. Elvis hasn't had a laptop this week after I sent it back for exchange and she's filling an hour or so with Bitesize Geography/History/Science everyday and some reading.
Sproglette's Y4 teacher is covering Y6 this term and seems to be desperately still making herself available for video calls for her class whenever she can. Last week's got cancelled though and we got a voicemail from the deputy saying there'd been a mistake and it was her planning time, not free time for video calls. She sent a message saying she might have a couple of hours today, but I spoke with Sproglette and we've agreed that whilst she'd like to see her teacher, she doesn't need help so we'll leave the slots for others. She's still doing all her set work, including the weekly DCT task to cook something (P is thrilled
), but even she's realized that she won't see have any time with her teacher again. :(
