Parents Meeting Intro y5.pptx

We are ambitious for all our children as they journey safely through our school.
Our children will become successful learners, confident individuals and responsible citizens of our community and the wider world. They aim to be ‘lights to

the world.’ Matthew 5:14
Our core Christian values of: Respect, Kindness, Forgiveness, Honesty, Friendship and Perseverance, underpin everything that we do.

Home learning:

As children get older, they will increasingly take responsibility for their own work
and homework tasks. That’s not to say that parents can’t help though. Encourage
your child to work independently on their homework, but also take the opportunity
to discuss it with them and to have them explain their understanding to you.
Homework will be set on Friday to be completed by next Friday.

Home learning:

All Home Learning is listed on Google Classroom every Friday.

Reading regularly to an adult across a wide range of genres. We expect children
should read for a minimum of 30 minutes every evening at home.

Spellings – expected to practise at home using Spelling Shed. The spellings will be
posted on Google classroom.

Times tables Rockstars 5 minutes practice everyday via website or app.

CPG books – reading comprehension, grammar and punctuation
( 2 of the 3 set each week)

Parent Partnership:

Monitor your child completing their Home learning to ensure they are completing
their work to the best of their ability and are handing in on time. Children should
bring their CGP books to school on Fridays.

Ensure your child reads regularly and reads a good variety of genres.

Ensure your child knows all their times tables with quick recall up to 12 x 12–
practise, practise, practise.

Discuss school with your child. What was the most interesting thing you learned
today? What did you enjoy today?

Practise real life maths, mental skills - addition and subtraction, telling the time,
money, measuring and word problems.

Watch the news and discuss topical issues.

Home/School Support : I am Mrs Hodgson -  the

Home/School Support Worker at

Bilton C of E Junior School.

At BJS we are very aware that in order to support children in achieving the best

possible outcomes, we must look at the ‘whole child.'  

We now live in a time where pressures on children and their families are mounting and

sometimes that can impact on the way children behave, learn and feel.  We also know

that at times parents need support to.

We are invested in your child’s learning and pay particular attention to their Spiritual,

Moral, Social and Cultural (SMSC) in-put.  My role supports this through me working

with children and families to identify any barriers to wellbeing and learning. We then

work together to look at the best ways to tackle concerns. Positive changes can be

achieved through support delivered directly in school, for example through 1:1 with

the child (this might include work with RISE resources or Draw & Talk Therapy),

delivering parenting support or holding  Early Help support meetings. This is not an

exhaustive list!  There may also be times where we need to look at services delivered

by external services but I can work with you to access those.

If there is an issue that may, in some way, impact on your child’s wellbeing or ability to

Additional Information:

Accelerated Reader: Children will be able to take a quiz after reading a text at
home or at school. The children have passwords and have been shown how to
access the platform. However, when accessing the site at home (as it is a
subscription site) you have to have the correct url.: Please use the link from your
child’s google classroom to access this.

Curriculum Trips – Planned visit to Blists Hill Victorian town- More details to
follow.

Parents Evenings: 3rd and 5th October - save the date.

Online safety:

Our Online Safety policy reflects the importance of using information systems and
electronic communication safely.
We aim to keep our children safe online in school and promote their safety at home
when using mobile phones, games consoles and wireless technology. We feel it is
important to educate our children on the benefits, risks and responsibilities of using
information technology.

Online Safety is taught to all pupils explaining how to stay safe and behave smartly
online (SMART rules) throughout the year.

We also celebrate Safer Internet Day in February to help children become more
aware of the internet.

Online safety:

We are all able to recognise that the internet is an essential
element in modern day life.

Here are a few tips for safe internet use:

• Set time limits for internet use. Balance time on the
computer with time outside or other activities.

• Ensure your child understands why it is important not to
publish private information.

• Placing systems with internet access in communal rooms is a
wise decision and installing safety software.

• Tell your child to talk to a trusted adult if anything
inappropriate happens online.
