Dear students, Parents and carers, Please refer to the attached timetables, Week A and Week B, to understand when the learning tasks collated in this ‘Activity Book’ have been scheduled for students to complete. As this ‘Activity Book’ encompasses learning tasks for the duration of two weeks, students will need to carefully check the timetables for the specified page numbers, to ensure they are completing the correct learning tasks at the correct time. If possible, it is requested that students are granted access to a device (e.g. computer desktop, laptop or iPad) with internet access, in order to engage in designated communication times with their teacher and peers. These daily designated times are specifically outlined in the timetables. Access to a device with internet is also requested, in order for students to continue using online educational resources, such as Maths Online, Read Theory and Pobble 365. All other learning tasks can be completed either hard copy or digitally. For example, work can be completed on a device (e.g. word document or online Google document), in your child’s homework book, in a plain exercise book, or loose paper. Kind regards Stage 3 teachers
