School Closure due to COVID-19
Dear Parents,
The coming weeks and possible months will see a very different approach to your child's learning. Some of you may think that you should replicate school at home following a 'school type' timetable. We would suggest that your child does 2.5/3 hours per day of 'school work', maybe following a loose timetable but be flexible.
Your child may find being at home an anxious and frustrating time so their mental well-being is of the upmost importance. Should you choose to spend one day doing something in the garden or having a mad art day then so be it!!!
We will be setting work through Purple Mash and other websites so there will be some deadlines set. You have also had home learning packs sent home for you to work through. There will also be links on this class page for you to follow.
I am aware that many Year 6's are feeling disappointed and anxious about what could be the end of their time at St Joseph's, and this is only to be expected. I have told them how proud they should be of all their hard work towards SATS and that this won't go to waste. Please reassure them that in terms of transition to secondary school, I will ensure that their new teachers are aware of their strengths and needs. Hopefully, we will manage to be back in school before the end of the summer. If not, we will organise some sort of get together celebration for them as soon as we can.
These are unprecedented times, remember to enjoy this time with your child, keep healthy and stay safe but most of all be happy and have fun together.
Regards
Mrs Donoghue

Don't forget, we can keep in touch through the Class Blog on Purple Mash, let me know what you're up to and how you're getting on. If you complete a 2do, save it so that I can have a look.
Keep learning and have fun with your family. Try not to worry, we will all be back together as soon as possible. 
What have we been up to so far in Year 6......?
