Home Learning
There is an expectation that all our children will continue with their learning at home and teachers will keep in contact with families to offer support.
We will be putting updates on pupils’ learning on the academy website here each Friday. Simply look at the Year group page here for your child and ask them to complete work in the exercise book and pack provided.
If you have a query please email to the info@harrisprimaryorpington.org.uk account and someone will advise you.
Well-Being
Remind your child that if they are worried about anything or need to talk to someone while the school is closed there are places they can go for support. For example, Childline can be contacted for free on 0800 1111, or children can get support online.

Why not kick off each day of Home Learning with a PE session with Joe Wicks - Joe will be on his Youtube Channel every morning at 9.00am with a PE session suitable for small children up to secondary school age (and beyond!). Pupils, siblings, parents, carers, staff and all of us still at school looking after our keyworker children - we will all be doing it, so please join in!
The link is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6r99N3kXME&safe=active

Extra Practise
As a school we use 'Letterjoin' for our handwriting scheme.
Get ready to practise handwriting at home via the letterjoin website at https://www.letterjoin.co.uk/
Letter-join includes lots of great handwriting activities for pupils to enjoy at home, using the same font as we use at school.

Stay in touch!
We would love to see pictures of you all joining in with the PE sessions and doing your home learning - and this does not have to just be learning from your home learning packs. Reading, cooking, art - send your pictures in to info@harrisprimaryorpington.org.uk and we will share them with you later in the week. We would love to tweet them too - please state in your email if you would prefer that your pictures were not shared on Twitter.
We will also put the link on the Home Learning pages of our website, together with a generic Purple Mash log in for each year group, so don't worry if your child cannot remember their log in.
Here is some guidance from the Department for Education on keeping your child safe online:
Where can I go to get support to help keep my child safe online?
There is a lot of support available to keep your child safe online. Below are some useful links to help parents and carers:
- Thinkyouknow (advice from the National Crime Agency to stay safe online)
- Internet matters (support for parents and carers to keep their children safe online)
- Parent info (support for parents and carers to keep their children safe online)
- LGfL (support for parents and carers to keep their children safe online)
