Welcome to the summer term.

Welcome back to a rather unusual Summer term. I hope you and your family are safe and well and have had a good Easter break and managed to enjoy the lovely sunshine.

Home learning activities for each week will be posted on class pages on the school website with additional information and personal feedback from teachers to children using virtual learning through Class Dojo.

The Summer term newsletter can also be seen on your child’s class page.

 If you are still to sign up for Class Dojo and the Maths app Times table rock star and require information or help please email including a subject heading to pupils@hatherleigh-pri.devon.sch.uk.  Learning for the week will be shown as daily English, Maths, Science and the wider curriculum activities and, where possible, at different levels of challenge - one, two or three star activities. I appreciate home learning can be challenging but the expectation is that children complete some work every school day. If you need any support, have a question or would like to give some feedback please contact school or message your class teacher using Class Dojo.

During the Easter break many families have continued to email home learning activities and Mrs Moss has been very busy posting them on the website. The range of activities has been amazing and I know have been a source of pleasure and inspiration for all.   Please continue to send in your photos and not just home learning but all the lovely things you and your family have been doing using pupils@hatherleigh-pri.devon.sch.uk .

During the Summer term school will continue to be available for vulnerable and key worker children, but can I remind you that all children should stay at home, following the Government’s directive, and only attend school if required as a vulnerable child or to enable you to fulfil your role as part of the nation’s response to COVID-19, please contact school using admin@hatherleigh-pri.devon.sch.uk or teacher@hatherleigh-pri.devon.sch.uk if you require your child to attend.

Spending considerable amounts of time together at home as a family can be challenging, if you have any wellbeing or safeguarding concerns please contact the school or in an emergency the Police 999, non-emergency 101 or MASH (Multi Agency Safeguarding Hub) on 03451551071 or mashsecure@devon.gov.uk .

Please regularly visit Class Dojo and our website to view weekly home learning, the whole school number challenge, online resources, including those for SEND children, and for further updates and information regarding COVID-19 as they become available from Devon County Council and the DfE.

I’m really looking forward to us all being back together but in the meantime stay safe and well.
