YEAR 4 REMOTE LEARNING
What should I be doing with my child at home?
What you are able to do at home will be based on your own capacity and health. Clearly, if there are COVID-19 symptoms in the household, then your priority will be to look after and support each other. If you are having to self-isolate and you do not have any symptoms at home, then you may be able to do more. The key message from us is that you should do as much as you are able to - given your family circumstances. Even if you can only manage a small amount of school-related work each day, then this is a great start.
If a whole class 'bubble' is self-isolating
If a whole class 'bubble' or even year group have to self-isolate, then we will be using Google Classroom to provide you with lesson plans and resources. There will be links each day and we will make this as simple to follow as we possibly can - as we know that parents will have to juggle this at home with their own routines. Teachers will also (subject to their own health) be online at given times each day to talk to the children face to face. This will be done via Google Meet and will be done in the confines of our @cvjs domain, ensuring that only members of CVJS can access this resource.

If you are off school as an individual
If you are at home as an individual, then please use the resources below as a guide. If you are in doubt, or have any questions about what you are being asked to do, please do not hesitate to contact us at admin@cvjs.org.uk and we will be happy to help out. Work can be done on paper or using an electronic device. It can be submitted via Google Classroom too.

YEAR 4 SPRING TERM TOPIC WEB
The spring term overview has been provided to show you what we are learning this term. This is a reminder and a good place to start when thinking about what to do at home. You could use these ideas, if you wish, to research specific topics and subjects in more detail. See information below for work that can be completed at home.
OTHER IDEAS
The following plans can be used to provide a structure to your weekly work at home. There are online and offline activities that you can do with your child. The work can be recorded on paper or on Google Classroom or simply done verbally. They can be used as a guide, so please do not worry if you can't get through all of the work. They are designed to be used with children in two different year groups.
These are ready-made weekly plans that guide you through a series of lessons. They are all linked to a particular topic, but not necessarily our CVJS topics. These are great if you just want your child to be able to work through some lessons with resources already prepared for you.

Online learning platforms
The links below will take you to the web pages for these online resources. Some are free to use, whereas others require a username and password. If your child can't remember their details, please contact your child's teacher via Google Classroom and they will be able to help you out.
You can use Google Classroom to upload work and to keep in touch with your teachers. If you've forgotten your username, it is the first 4 letters of your first name, the first letter of your surname and the year that you will leave CVJS - followed by @cvjs.org.uk
(The year for Y6 is 21, for Y5 it is 22, for Y4 it is 23 and for Y3 it is 24).
So, Santa Claus in Year 3 would be santc24@cvjs.org.uk
