HOME LEARNING HEALTH WARNING!
Times are hard for everyone, the most important thing is to look after your own mental health and help your family to do the same.
We will post enough work so your children can find tasks they'll enjoy - but we aren't expecting families to be doing all of it! Do what's right for you and your circumstances.
In terms of learning, the priority is to keep reading and number tasks going whenever you can, these things will make it easier to return to learning once school re-opens.

Computing
Over the last few weeks we have been learning about networks, the internet and the 'World Wide Web.' This week we'll be thinking about how you know which websites on the world wide web you can trust.
Click here to see the BBC bitesize guide to find out more about using a search engine, filtering results, choosing the best or most reliable sites, and how to check that what they say is true. There is a useful video to watch too.
Make a poster about the things that you think were the most useful. Or, if you'd rather, you could make one telling people what thought processes they should go through when looking at a new website... This is my list. Have I missed anything?
Who wrote it: a company, a government, an advertising agency?
Could they be biased?
Why did they write it?
Are the 'facts' true?
Is it out of date?
Is it well designed?
For next week...

Over the last few weeks we have been learning about networks, the internet and the 'World Wide Web.' This week we'll be thinking about how you can stay safe while using the internet at home.
Click on this link to see a video on SafeYouTube showing how you can stay safe online.
I've put the five rules they discuss below. Using Publisher, or paper and pencils, design a poster for people in your family telling them how to stay safe. You could just choose one rule, or use all five.
Keep personal information safe.
People online are strangers
Ask before you share
Be kind
Ask an adult...to help find things that are the right age for you, if something upsets you or if something goes wrong
