Please note that there may be children accessing Universal Free School Meals who are and/or become entitled to benefits related Free School Meals. We would ask that where possible, you send a text to parents asking them to look at the website and apply if this is the case.
They can apply here https://www.doncaster.gov.uk/services/schools/free-school-meals
or by telephone on 01302 735336. This will then give them an entitlement to access the £15 per week DfE voucher. It will also support families whose children are moving into KS2. Whilst a significant number of new applications have been processed, we are aware that some families have had difficulty registering. If you are aware of such examples, then please let us know and we will resolve asap.

Latest online safety programme for Parent/Carers and Children now available on the safeguarding page

We hope all our families are keeping well and safe at home. We really appreciate all the positive messages we’ve been sent in response to the learning packs sent home with your children. We hope they have enjoyed engaging in these activities over the past two weeks and you have too. Our website continues to provide activities in your child’s class page. Our class pages hold a host of three daily activities to do at your pace with your child, there are further links if you want to do more.
Over the coming weeks we will begin to set some weekly learning activities and develop ways in which our children can share their work with their teacher.
Teachers will be in touch this week.

We look forward to when we can be together as a school community again - please stay safe and take care.

D Secker,
Principal

Maths with Parents - Message from Miss Lewis

The most useful, effective and efficient way of supporting your child with their Mathematics learning at home is to make sure that your child is registered with the Maths with Parents programme. Each week (Monday) your child's class will be set a piece of learning (by their teacher) that fully corresponds to what they would be learning if they were in school at this point. If you have not registered as yet, please do so as soon as possible.

Each week parents will receive a notification to log onto the MwP tool. You will see a short video with pupils speaking clearly about their learning (using the correct language) for the particular unit of work. This will be followed by 2 or 3 practical activities for you to complete with your child. You will then have the opportunity to leave some very brief feedback (verbally or via photograph).

To register, you will need (i) a parent email address and (ii) your child's class code. (please see below):

(FYJ) 445258 (FYO) 257541 (Y1E) 740915 (Y1R) 640431 (Y2D) 356927 (Y2SV) 209243 (Y3B) 854719 (Y3L) 655683 (Y4G) 529052 (Y4L) 118922 (Y5K) 288308 (Y5R) 283600 (Y6A) 215562 (Y6L) 552873

To access, please log on to https://mathswithparents.com Click on: New Parent? Click Here!

*NB Reception, Year 1, Year 2 and Y3 pupils - To acheive the 'Easter Eggsperts' award, your child will need to have completed all Spring Term tasks by 26th April! Good luck!

Thank you

Sarah Lewis, Director of Maths @ Richmond Hill Primary Academy & Maths SLE for Doncaster schools.
