Willow Tree Home Learning-15.6.20
Hello Willow Tree Class,
I hope you're all well and maintaining a positive mindset. The school is now open to Reception, Year 1 and Year 6 and we now have a one-way system around the school grounds and the playground has been split into different zones for each 'safe group'. Unfortunately there is currently no date set for the return of Year 3 - but we are following the advice from central government closely and will keep you informed of any developments. I've been hearing lots of great things about all your fantastic projects on Ancient Egypt. I can't believe how much you've learnt! Feel free to email photos of your work to me via the school office and I'll try to share as many as I can.
Did you hear the exciting announcement from Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling? To cheer children up during the lockdown, she is publishing a new story called The Ickabog, which you can read for free at www.theickabog.com - and there's a competition to have your very own illustrations featured in the upcoming print version of the book. You can also download a free audiobook of The Philosopher's Stone on the Leeds Library website, or watch different celebrities (including Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe!) reading it at www.wizardingworld.com/chapters.
Here are the new Home Learning resources. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions.
Take care,
Mr Kyriacou

Great Science Share for Schools-World Oceans Day
Rufford Park is getting involved with the Great Science Share, which is an annual campaign to inspire young people to communicate and share their scientific questions with new audiences and get children to think and work scientifically. Up until the 16th June, they are running weekly themes that revolve around Global Sustainability Goals. We would like the children to get involved with this and encourage you to register on the GSS website, where you can upload photos and videos of the work that your children have produced. Each week, a new document with ideas and links related to the weekly theme will be available on the Rufford Park Science page. Click on the links below to find out more about how to get involved.

KEEPING SAFE: A MESSAGE FROM MISS TIDEY
It is really important you all continue to keep yourselves safe. As well as following the government guidelines, you need to remember all the things we teach you in school about keeping safe. You can find information about keeping safe under the 'children' tab on our website. In school we regularly talk to you about what you should do if you feel worried or upset. It is important you talk to a trusted adult; remember you need to speak up and stay safe. Miss Tidey, Mr Cooke and Mrs Moss (our Designated Safeguarding Leads) are still available and can be contacted at school. If you are unable to talk to a trusted adult at school or at home about a worry you have, then you can speak to someone at ChildLine. Please click on the following link and spend a few minutes reminding yourself of who you can talk to: www.ruffordparkprimary.org.uk/children/keeping-safe. On this page you will also find information on how you can get help if you are worried about anything you see online.
As you are currently learning from home and could well be spending more time online, it is important you also keep yourself safe on the internet. Please read (or ask an adult to read to you) our E-Safety Rules; you need to remember and follow these when using the internet at home. Click on this link to view our E-Safety Rules: www.ruffordparkprimary.org.uk/children/internet-safety-information-for-children
We have also provided parents with information about how to keep children safe online. Please click on the following link for advice on how to support your child to use the internet safely, responsibly and positively: www.ruffordparkprimary.org.uk/children/internet-safety-information-for-parents. On this page there are also links to other websites and resources.
