Castle Academy Astrea Academy Trust
Good morning,
We had another busy day delivering remote learning yesterday and we were really pleased to see increasing numbers of pupils engaging in their learning either online via TEAMs or completing their personalised work packs. I enjoyed the opportunity to support Japan Class with their lessons throughout the day and also had chance to deliver a Reading lesson with Syowa Class too.
I hope you have all had chance to read the letter sent yesterday regarding the update with the heating situation and I am hoping I will be able to share good news with you all later in the day.
Have a good day!
Miss Blagden

Story Sessions
In school, we aim to foster a life long love of reading and have a daily ‘Reading for Pleasure’ session. To continue to provide such experiences whilst the children are not in school, I have created Nearpod presentations to tell the story of a classic C. S. Lewis novel called, ‘The Magician’s Nephew’ for our older pupils (KS2).
It was great to see that more children had logged in yesterday and listened to the first two chapters of the story. Here is Chapter 1 and 2 for anyone who missed it:
Chapter 2- Digory and his Uncle
And today we have added Chapter 3 to each Key Stage Two class channel:
Chapter 3- The Wood between the Worlds https://app.nearpod.com/?pin=BC4PA
For Key Stage 1 we are sharing links to some fantastic story tellers on the BBC Bedtime Stories:
BBC iPlayer – CBeebies Bedtime Stories – 739. Sir Sam Mendes – The Knight Who Wouldn’t Fight
