This week on the school site, we have loved working with our peers, enjoying the freedom to build on previous activities and sharing our learning and games with staff. We have especially loved having Simon to show us different games and having the opportunity to play with others who we do not normally play with at school. Friendships have become very strong, we have shared experiences and stories that have been great to hear. Learning in our new groups is good fun and we have helped each other to succeed and progress. Mark has kept us all entertained and has lots of funny stories, jokes and riddles to share.
Off site, JNA learners have made outstanding progress and there have been some amazing examples of home learning. KS2 have been doing lots of reading and have shared this on SeeSaw. The Gratefulness Hand-prints have shown us that there is still lots of things to be grateful for during the lock-down, a sunny days is a great example, let’s hope the sun and warm weather continues.
In KS3, we have seen some amazing dens and physical activities taking place in the garden. There are some fantastic pieces of writing, learning about birds, forces and key maths skills. I am really looking forward to seeing what people’s home bakes look like!
KS4 are marching through important learning and have demonstrated super higher-level maths, analysis of key texts and very interesting science learning. It is great to see detailed answers that are written with thought and care. I cannot wait to hear about endangered species investigations next week.
Although school is not following the normal day, we have seen amazing interactions between students and staff at their homes, there has also been hundreds of communications between staff and parents.
We hope you have a great weekend and the weather is as good as it has been!
