We have a nice song to remind you how to keep cleaning those hands and if you go to the website it’s in lots of languages.
If you want to listen in another language you can mute the video and play the sound for that language.
Below are links to two documents for EAL and BME support and resources.
If you are having trouble finding or understanding the support and information on this websites due to language barriers we can try to find you bilingual support if you get in contact.
Here are some more documents regarding supporting EAL learners and parents at home.
We’ve received the following information on a competition for Polish speaking families from the Stephen Spender trust.
Hi all,
We have just launched this year’s Polish Spotlight prize, which is an ideal activity for Polish-speakers to work on at home (with their parents, if they wish). Entrants translate a Polish poem into English, and write a short commentary about their translation.
We have curated a short list of fantastic poems for them to choose from, including lots by living poets. It’s a great way for Polish-speakers to engage with their heritage culture while practising the core literacy skills associated with translation.
The Spotlight is part of the national Stephen Spender Prize, which is for translation of any poem out of any language. In recent years we’ve received increasing numbers of entries from EAL pupils, and lots of positive feedback from them, EAL coordinators, parents and teachers. Please do spread the word amongst your pupils. The deadline is 17 July and we’ve made lots of virtual resources available here: http://www.multilingualcreativity.org.uk/resources/

Please use the links below to read some information aimed at supporting our EAL and BME families.
The parent council have also asked us to ask if any parents can help by becoming an admin on the groups for some of these languages.
If the Polish, Arabic and Urdu parent could let the Parent Council know that they can do this admin role for the WhatsApp via the Parent Council Facebook messenger it would be much appreciated.
