School Update
Mon 04 May 2020Good 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
Mr Buckeridge has kindly uploaded another Collective Worship and this is available in the home learning section of our website.
Take care everyone

School Update
Fri 01 May 2020Good morning everyone,
Who can believe that it is Friday again, the weeks seem to be whizzing by! Having spoken to the teachers this week, the overriding feeling we all have is one of frustration that we can't all be in school teaching the children. They have enjoyed reaching out to our families this week and we all enjoy seeing what you have been up to through the photos, work and messages you upload.
I must reiterate again that in these times nothing can replace day to day school life and it is vitally important that you do what is right for you and your families We are here to help and support in the best way we possibly can and please contact us if you need support, That may be through an e-mail or a phone call, i know the staff are on hand to answer any questions you may have. We have also been delivering paper copies of the work set to those families who request it. Please contact school if you need anything like paper worksheets, reading books or we can even loan you our IT equipment.
The teachers will continue to set daily work for you to complete, but remember there is always more suggestions of things you can do in the home learning section of the website. We have just uploaded some more workbooks for maths and spelling. In addition to this the Oak National Academy is a fantastic on-line resource with video lessons and accompanying work.
We all hope you manage to continue to enjoy this unexpected time with your families and it feels like we can start to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Have a lovely weekend and stay safe,
Mr Nicholson
