Good morning everyone,

As we now enter Week 7 of the forced school closure, isolation and lock-down.  This new situation is slowly becoming the ‘new normal’, working from home and ensuring social distance measures are in place. 

Yet, we are hopeful that soon, we can come back together as a school family.  There has been lots in the news recently about the potential reopening of schools.  As I write this, I know no more than all of you and I continue to wait with interest further information so that we can make concrete plans for the reopening of school. 

In the meantime, we continue as we have been with the teachers setting daily activities in maths, english and one other subject.  These activities are also supplemented by the various resources available in the 'Home Learning' section of the website.  As I am sure you are all aware by now, remember that:

• You do what is right for your families and pick and choose the activities to suit.
• Try if you can to reach out to your class teacher through the avenues available. 
• Remember we are here to help and support in any way we can.  Please get in touch if you need support with anything.

VE-Day

In school this week we would have been joining the rest of the country in celebrating the 75th Anniversary of VE-Day.  We know that you already know lots about WWII from our topics last term and there will be lots about VE-Day on the TV this week.  It would be great if you could produce something to celebrate this day, maybe you could:

• Create a fact page about VE-DAY
• Design a poster to celebrate the day or explain what it is all about
• Take a photograph of your front garden picnic (if you have one) 
• Be creative and think of your own idea

If you would like to send us what you have created then either upload it to your Google Classroom or e-mail them to enquiries@longbenningtonacademy.co.uk 

Resources

We have put some resources in our foyer area at school, feel free to come and help yourselves to anything that you may need.

Mr Buckeridge Collective Worship
