Instead of a daily maths lesson, there will be a one-off video session with different activities and challenges from National Numeracy Day to try! We want to celebrate all of the fantastic maths work you are doing at home, so please share with us any pictures, work or activities you are getting up to.

If you are having difficulties joining then please read our guidance. Also if you could not see everyone in the hangout this week, you will need to download the extension. Please use this link https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-meet-grid-view/bjkegbgpfgpikgkfidhcihhiflbjgfic.

When in the hangout, could we also request that children do not click on the presentation button and only use the mute/unmute button. Finally we would also like to request that whoever is visible on the screen is dressed and aware that everyone participating in the hangout can see them. Hopefully this will help and everyone will be able to access the hangouts.

It has been wonderful to see the variety of learning taking place this week both at home and in school. Many children have accessed the online lessons whilst also exploring their own learning interests too. We are loving how creative you all are!

Please remember, the learning opportunities are there for you to do but as always family time is vitally important.

Within the next week the school nursing team hope to be starting an Instagram page which will be updated regularly with public health information and health updates for young people. This will be managed by Public Health Sutton. We are currently looking into the possibility of a Q and A page within instagram for young people to interact directly with us. This site will also offer signposting to available resources and local / national services.
