Key stage 2 - year 3,4,5 and 6
Hello hope you are all well?
With this being the last week of school I have decided not to set a new challenge but I would like you to send me some photos of things you have been doing in lockdown if you haven't already. I have had some great pictures and it's been lovely seeing what some of you have been up to.
I'm also looking forward to reading some more of your reviews about a book, film or programme that you have watched or read that you think I would enjoy. So keep them coming!
My email address is joanne.rawlinson@cambois.

Hi everyone hope you are all well.
This week's challenge is to write a review for a book you've read during lockdown,a programme you've watched or a film you have seen that you think I might enjoy!
You can type these up or write them and take a picture of them and then email them to me at joanne.rawlinson@cambois.
I am really looking forward to all of your recommendations.
Mrs Rawlinson
Lockdown Challenge !
As some of you may know I'm doing a display about your time during lockdown and I need your help!
This week's challenge is for you to write about the things you have been doing in lockdown. I'd like you to tell me about how different things have been, I'd also like you to email me some pictures of things you have been doing. This can be of walks you have gone on, things you have done in the house or anything else you'd like to share. I have had some pictures sent already but I could really do with some more.
My email address is joanne.rawlinson@cambois.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you all

Covid 19 book for children
This is a very confusing time for children. Please use the link below to find a book specifically written for children to explain the virus.
UPDATE FROM DFE
The DfE has issued a document that brings together an initial list of online educational resources to help children to learn at home. The DfE states that these websites have been identified by some of the country’s leading educational experts and offer a wide range of support and resources for pupils of all ages.https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/corona virus-covid-19-online-education-resources.
In addition, Northumberland County Council and Northumbria Healthcare Trust have produced a ‘Coronavirus: Factsheet for Kids’.
Free OT apps
Follow this link for a selection of free apps recommended by Occupational therapists. Normally at this time of year in therapy, it can be hard to keep the kids attention spans on track. Having a free app that builds skills can be one way to stay on track with addressing specific skills. Whatever your need, these educational games and special education supports can be a powerful tool in distance learning and learning at home.

We have just subscribed to MYMATHS. This is an online platform where we can set homework for children to complete. You should receive your login details from your class teacher and then can begin.
A daily snack shop can be a great way of keeping maths going throughout the day. Give you child a daily limit and they must work out how much they have spent and how ,much change they have. Older children could have more complicated amounts to allow them to deal with pounds and pence so they need to use decimals in their calculations. Remember to send up a photo if you do this.

Yoga
It’s yoga video lessons that children (with Autism and without) can practise at home during the Coronavirus Lockdown - which I am offering for FREE!
Here’s the link: https://bit.ly/2XS0EVV
There is no catch. Like everyone else we are trying to do our bit to help.
The lessons are simply structured, easy to follow and to teach, as well as safe, highly engaging and great fun. Parents and staff do not need any yoga knowledge or experience to do this. I have been teaching yoga in SEN & Mainstream Schools for almost 25 years and have developed these methods over that time.
Although I created the videos for children who are on the Autism Spectrum, they are also ideal for neurotypical children from EYFS, Reception and Years 1 & 2 so feel free to let Primary Schools in your area know about this.
The lessons consist of THREE short animated videos, which your parents (and staff) can download from my website at the link shown, and use when it best suits the children. So no Zoom, no streaming problems; no privacy worries.
They can stop, start, freeze, go back, fast forward, when they want…and revisit time after time, after time; thereby reinforcing the activities which, we know, with children on the spectrum, is key.
Your pupils will be learning simple yoga postures, a sequence and a relaxation technique, and the whole family will be having fun at the same time.
Remember, you can access the videos at https://bit.ly/2XS0EVV
