LEO Distance Learning Sites

We remain committed to supporting your child’s learning at home and have launched a new range of lessons and activities for all year groups next week on our distance learning website:

www.leodistancelearning.co.uk

You will continue to find activities, videos, work and online learning resources for your child to complete at home each day. There are a number of ideas and links to distance learning activities for you to choose and plan your day from. Teachers in school will also be sharing tasks delivered to pupils in school for you to take part in at home too. These will be uploaded regularly to each year group page so check the website often for updates.

Your child's class teacher will be adding all of the daily activities onto Google Classroom for Year 3, 4 and 5.

From Monday, there will be recorded maths lessons for your children to follow from Mrs Dolling (Y3), Mrs Shirley (Y4) and Miss Kelly (Y5) for Maths.

Miss Harland, Miss Austin and Mr Perrot will be delivering recorded lessons for English each day so please keep checking Google Classroom and www.leodistancelearning.co.uk

In addition to this, your teachers will continue to set work linked to this half term's topics:

Year 3: Rivers Deep, Mountain High

Year 4: Titanic

Year 5: Recycool

Year 6: Gallery Rebels

We will be providing new weekly online lessons for Music, French, PE, Computing and Digital Skills, along with more activities from our popular Forest School. These lessons will all be uploaded at the start of each week to allow you to plan in advance your own daily or weekly schedule.

All pupils can keep in touch with their child’s class teacher using the usual email addresses as well as with the LEO Distance Learning Team at their new email address distancelearning@leoacademytrust.co.uk

Class teachers will continue to respond to emails sent to the year group email addresses as much as possible. They will also be continuing to use GoogleMeet to hold virtual meetings with classes too.

We will continue to celebrate the children’s learning and achievements, whether from home or at school on Twitter and through our weekly newsletter so please share your work with us. We love seeing everyone's work and ideas!

Welcome to London - Young Geographer of the Year Competition

Aashi has created an amazing virtual tour of London using Google Earth as part of her entry into the Young Geographer of the Year competition. We think it's amazing. Good luck Aashi!

There is still time to submit your entry. Deadline is 30th June 2020.

For more details, click here.

This year’s Young Geographer of the Year competition gives young people the chance to explore the potential that geography holds. Although we might all be confined to our homes, and doing #geographyathome, we are asking young people to explore their wider geographical horizons by providing entries to our Young Geographer of the Year competition and explore the geography of:

'The world beyond my window'

We are interested in entries that explore the human and physical geography of places that exist beyond a young person's window, be it locally or further afield. We want to know how young people’s lives are connected to and influenced by these places - be the connections physical, digital or emotional. We also want to understand how geographical processes in the physical and human worlds have created these places and might be changing them.

CHEAM COMMON POSTCARDS

More Cheam Common Postcards have been sent home over the past couple of weeks. These postcards are another way of us communicating with you to celebrate great work, ideas or attitudes that we have been impressed with during this time!

We hope they will put a smile on everyone's faces!

Who will be next to receive one?

LYG Virtual Games

The London Youth Games are excited to announce the launch of the LYG Virtual Games. The LYG Virtual Games will take place over four-weeks, giving young children and young people the chance to represent their Boroughs in a series of sport-related challenges that can be done at home, at school or while out for daily exercise.

Three weekly challenges will be released every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at 9.00am on the London Youth Games website and social media channels. Participants will then have until Friday at 12.00pm to complete the challenges and submit their scores. All the challenges will relate to a London Youth Games sport and have been set by young Londoners with a connection to the Games.

The children can choose which tasks they would like to do. Please send any work into your Year Group email addresses. Your class teachers and Miss Gunner would love to see your work!

Small Change Big Difference;

Online Parents Workshops for those whose children have a diagnosis of Autism.

with Adapt to Learn

Starting June 22th (morning) and June 24th (evening) for 4 weeks

Small Change, Big Difference’, our popular series of workshops for parents of children with a diagnosis of autism is back for a second run, but this time it will be run on line!

Run by Adapt to Learn in conjunction with the NAS Sutton Branch, the series of workshops will empower parents, grandparents, carers or other family members in supporting them to help their children by developing an in-depth understanding of autism.

Over a four week period, they will take a positive approach to your child's diagnosis, while exploring, sharing and discussing practical strategies to help develop communication skills, pre-empt and manage behaviour and gain confidence and resilience.

During their online sessions, parents will be given the opportunity to make connections, gain support and feel less isolated.

Parents who attended the last set of workshops said

"Mel and Tracy make a great combo, keeping the sessions lively and engaging. It's essential for all parents"

I felt " a sense of shared experiences. Clear explanations and presentations. Feeling I was among people who understood"

The course comprises of four x 1.5 hour sessions and will cover a range of topics.

You must sign up to and be able to attend all four sessions.

The sessions will be held online via Google Meet. All you need is a device with a camera, such as laptop or smart phone. You don't need to have a Google accounts. You do need to find an hour and a half of undisturbed time - probably the hardest bit!

Session 1 Understanding Autism

Session 2 Exploring different strategies you can use

Session 3 Is it Sensory or is it Behaviour?

Session 4 Communicating Emotions and Building Resilience

We are running two lots of sessions consecutively, one in the morning and one in the evening. You will need to sign up to either one or the another and won't be able to mix times.

There is a maximum of 10 spaces available on each programme.

£20 per household to cover all 4 sessions.
