helping parents support dyslexic children and those struggling with literacy whilst they are at home
Some children struggle with reading and writing and we recognise parents might need some help supporting them in their learning whilst they are at home. We have been working with an organisation called Access to Literacy this year. They have delivered training to teachers on recognising and supporting children who have literacy difficulties. Their work comes highly recommended. They have shared some suggestions with us, for online resources that parents can access to support their children.

some ideas on non-contact physical activity for home and school to develop football skills
This term we have been lucky enough to work in partnership with Black Prince Trust, Girls United FA and Fulham Football Foundation who have supported a league of 16 girls primary football teams. The games have been brilliant and taken place in all weathers. We hope to complete the league at a later date, but for now Girls United have shared some activities to keep children active and develop their footballing schools, avoiding contact.
For more ideas on staying fit and active and engaging with football, follow Girls United as they post on their social media channels. Their coaches will be releasing challenges and sharing tips over the coming weeks.
Girls United: on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter .

Exploration of the Day – artist Keri Smith offers daily art ideas for children at home
We wanted to share the web address of artist Keri Smith who has set up daily art ideas for children to do at home using objects around us.Here’s an example from yesterday:
Drawing to Sounds
Mar 18 Written By Keri Smith
Listen to all of the sounds in your environment. We are going to use these sounds to represent different drawing commands. For example, If you hear music, then you draw some squiggly lines. If you are hearing many sounds at once you must pick one at a time to draw. Here is a set of rules, but feel free to make up your own rules based on the sounds unique to your environment. You could also use different sounds to represent different colors.
music = squiggly lines
human voices = small dots
bird sounds = dotted lines
traffic/car sounds = fast scribbles
machine sounds = circles
dog barking = triangles
silence = cloud shapes
person yelling = dark, thick lines
airplane = smudges
Research: Pauline Oliveros
“Deep Listening is listening in every possible way to everything possible to hear no matter what you are doing.” -Pauline Oliveros
