Join Jess for another dance session with links to French to recognise International Dance Day
Wed 29 Apr 2020Hello everyone!
Miss Squire here in association with Hatherleigh Primary School. I hope you enjoyed last week’s workshops - International Dance Day is this week so join the rest of the world and get dancing!
This Week’s Links
Here are this week’s links (the warms ups are the same each week and should be done before the main session). For ease I have used abbreviations and so KS1 means school years Reception, 1 and 2, and KS2 means school years 3, 4, 5 and 6.
ALL YEARS - French Link https://youtu.be/P6-YpResj1k
(You might want a notebook and something to write with for French, especially KS2 pupils)
Dance - Key Stage One (for this occasion that includes Reception, plus Year 1 and 2)
KS1 Warm Up: Dance - https://youtu.be/VTK0Pxr6lB4
Week 2: KS1 International Dance Day Special - https://youtu.be/omdseg-j61w

Week 2: KS2 International Dance Day Special - https://youtu.be/CO7XSwSOk4M
Please make sure that:
1. You have a clear, safe space to dance in (no obstacles, including cables/wires, coffee table corners, expensive ornaments nearby that could be knocked or cause injury).
2. Participants are wearing something that is suitable to dance in, long hair is tied up, and no jewellery. Also sensible footwear, especially if you have a slippery floor.
3. An adult is supervising (or even better, joining in!).
4. Participants are looking after themselves and anyone else joining in. Make sure dancers are being careful with their moves, and stop and rest if needed.
5. Have some water nearby/afterwards.
Enjoy!
Best wishes, and take care,
Miss Squire

Thank you to the NHS
Mon 27 Apr 2020Lots of people have been joining in the clapping on Thursday at 8pm. Last week Harry went one step further. This earned him a well-deserved interview for the local paper.

Week 1. St George's Day dance sessions with Miss Squire.
Thu 23 Apr 2020Hello everyone
Miss Squire here. As you know, it is more important than ever before to find ways of keeping fit and active, and happy and healthy from home. Taking part in these online workshops is a great way to do that, and so I hope adults and children alike will be taking advantage of this opportunity made available to you by Hatherleigh Primary School.
How to access the online workshops:
All you need to do is click the links below, which will take you to this week's sessions (on YouTube), and then you will be able to do the workshops. New workshops will be sent out every week (although the warm ups will be the same). Don't forget, you can always do them gradually, or more than once, perhaps as a morning wake and shake, or as an after home-school club.
Please make sure that:
1. You have a clear, safe space to dance in (no obstacles, including cables/wires, coffee table corners, expensive ornaments nearby that could be knocked or cause injury).
2. Participants are wearing something that is suitable to dance in, long hair is tied up, and no jewellery. Also sensible footwear, especially if you have a slippery floor.

Letter to parents & carers
Mon 20 Apr 2020Friday 17th April 2020
Dear Parent/Carer
Thank you to everyone for working so hard to make home learning work, I know for some getting to grips with new technology and balancing working from home with children’s home learning has been a real challenge.
Home learning activities for next week will be posted on class pages on the school website by Monday morning, with additional information and personal feedback from teachers to children continuing on Class Dojo. If you are still to sign up or are experiencing any problems please see the Class Dojo help sheets sent out through school comms and posted on our website, alternatively contact school using the admin@ or teacher@ email addresses. It has been lovely to see all the home learning activities being posted on the Class Dojo pages and on the school website, please continue to send them in using pupils@hatherleigh-pri.devon.sch.uk .
From next week our weekly newsletter will return, this will include the usual school news, learners of the week and any other community information you would like to share.
As said previously, school continues to remain open 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. I am really looking forward to us all being back together, but as you are aware the Government announced a further three weeks of lock down and no information on when schools may reopen.
With financial circumstances changing some families may become eligible for Free School Meals (FSM). Please check the criteria below and follow the link, all you will need is your date of birth and National Insurance Number.
- Universal Credit (provided you have an annual net earned income of no more than £7,400, as assessed by earnings from up to three of your most recent assessment periods).
- Income Support (IS).
- Income-based Jobseekers Allowance (IBJSA).
- Income-related Employment and Support Allowance (IRESA).
- The guaranteed element of State Pension Credit.
- Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999.
- Child Tax Credit (provided you’re not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income as assessed by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs, that does not exceed £16,190).
- Working Tax Credit run-on (the payment you get for a further 4 weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit).
If you are successful, please forward any evidence you receive (or do a screenshot of the result) to admin@hatherleigh-pri.devon.sch.uk
Spending considerable amounts of time together at home as a family can be challenging, if you have any wellbeing or safeguarding concerns please contact
- School 01837 810248 teacher@hatherleigh-pri.devon.sch.uk
- Police 999 non-emergency 101
- MASH (Multi Agency Safeguarding Hub) on 03451551071 mashsecure@devon.gov.uk .
- Childline 0800 1111 childline.org.uk
Annual school reports are being brought forward this year and I am aiming to send them out by either email or hard copy by half term – more details will follow later. In the meantime, as we did not have a Spring term parent/carer evening, if you have any questions or require further information about your child’s attainment, progress or wellbeing please contact class teachers using Class Dojo or using teacher@hatherleigh-pri.devon.sch.uk .
As you are aware all examinations including KS1 and KS2 SATs have been cancelled for this summer, details of how end of KS1 and KS2 attainment and progress are assessed and reported will be communicated to you once the DfE has informed schools.
During this time whilst school is closed good communication with parents/carers is even more vital, if you have recently change your contact numbers (mobile and landline) or email address could you please let school know.
Please continue to 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.
Stay safe and well

Welcome to the summer term.
Tue 14 Apr 2020Welcome 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.
