Dear Parents / Guardians

 

Thank you for your support of Home School today.

 

This week subject teachers will be signposting students to pre-recorded lessons for their subject on BBC i-player and Oak National Academy as a complement to – but not instead of - Brockhill Live Online lessons.

Lockdown Learning: BBC Bitesize

Oak National Academy

We are doing this, in order to maximise the variety of subject specific content we provide to students.

 

The Daily Tutor Time activity tomorrow is:

Numeracy.

Students should access the Daily Tutor Time materials and submit their work to their Daily Tutor at the end of each day.

 

Please do ensure your child has chosen a book from our Digital Library

and is reading for 20 minutes daily.

 

To encourage students in their daily reading task we will be talking to them about

Reading Competition Folkestone Creative

We want as many of our students as possible to participate.

 

We have started Reading Breakout Groups in Year 7during timetabled timetabled Live Online English lesson. Next week, we will extend this to Year 8 and the week beginning February 8^th to Year 9.

 

The very large majority of students are now attending all their Live Online lessons and submitting their assignments in good time to their teachers. Our Guidance Managers are working hard to make telephone contact with all families this half-term, to check on student welfare.

 

We want all our students to remain safe by following the National Lockdown Guidance

as well as to remember social distancing, hand washing and face coverings, so as to play their part in the fight against the spread of COVID-19.

 

 

Yours Sincerely,

 

Sonette Schwartz
