Good afternoon Year 4!

This is a message for all the children who are currently accessing TEAMs at home. You have all worked so hard this half term so on Friday, we are going to try a new session.

Our aim is to provide your children with the chance to catch up with one another through the TEAMs session. They have spent 6 weeks listening and responding to us therefore, it is now their turn.

The plan… we will set up a regular TEAMs session for your children to join. I (Miss J), Mrs J and Mr Leonard will all be joining the sessions. As we often have 14+, a catch-up session would be harder to manage. Therefore, we will be creating different ‘breakout’ spaces through TEAMs. This means the children will be split into smaller groups at random. In each room will have an adult to listen carefully and for safety purposes. The rooms will be open for a period for the children to catch up with one another.

We cannot guarantee if children will be together as it will be done at random. We ask that all children are respectful and use it as an opportunity to chat to their peers!

Please be mindful that setting this up may take some time so Mr L or Mrs J will occupy the children whilst I create the spaces. When the time is up, we will bring all the children back together!

We hope that the children look forward to being able to catch up all be it… virtually!

At the moment the times will be as follows: The session length may be shorter, this depends on how long it takes to set up each room.

4NJ – 9:30am – 10:15am

4J – 10:15am – 11:00am

4S – 11:00am – 11:45am

Thank you!
