Distance Learning Opportunities Newsletter
Welcome to the Summer Term! We hope you had a restful break.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues we will be providing you with a bank of resources to support learning for our pupils across the Trust. Most resources are free or temporarily free. There are a range of activities included. Who knows? Maybe our pupils will discover a new passion during this unscheduled time off.
Follow us at @LEOacademies on Twitter!
Encourage your pupils to get involved with The Locals: Diaries project. An exciting opportunity to be part of local history.

Congratulations to our Mandarin Club who have been accessing their lessons via Zoom each week. They won Global Class of the Week Award with True Education
GLOBAL CLASS OF THE WEEK
In an increasingly global world, it’s more essential that ever that young people are equipped to tackle the global issues facing us today, including climate change, poverty and inequality.
The Global Class of the Week award aims to recognise those engaging in valuable conversation around international issues within the classroom. Whether it’s participating in shared projects, learning about the Sustainable Development Goals, learning a language, or getting involved with the local community, a Global Class is one that takes an active interest in protecting the world we live in.
THIS WEEK’S CLASS OF THE WEEK ARE…
Year 5 Mandarin Club at Leo Academy Trust, who have continued their Mandarin lessons using Zoom with two lessons a week from their teachers in Beijing. It’s fantastic to see how well you’re engaging in your language learning during your home studies – keep up the great work!
