Please do make sure you have signed up to Seesaw or Tapestry Apps.

 

 

Seesaw will be used by children in Year 2 to Year 6 and in Year 1 and Year R will use Tapestry.  The Year 1 children will start using Seesaw later this year . 

 

Please click on this link. By completing the online form parents agree that we can add their details to SeeSaw.

 

 

We will also be using Seesaw and Tapestry for sharing 'in school' learning with parents, so please make sure you have registered. We also plan to move all regular homework onto Seesaw in the autumn term

 

Please see the intro video for Seesaw.  This is a useful resource to watch to help you to get started with Seesaw.

 

 

The Home Learning  section of the website has been updated. There are tabs for each phase of the school EYFS, KS1 and KS2. 

In each area there is a section with general websites that are useful for children to access when working from home . These can be used as needed. 

 

There is also a section for 'daily plans' for each year group. 

In each section there is a set of 5 daily lesson plans . These will be renewed at least termly, and we will be adding extra plans, as needed this term. 

 

They are designed to be used by children who are self isolating at home but who are not actually unwell themselves.  This may happen when a family member shows symptoms of a new persistent cough, a high temperature and / or a loss of their sense of smell or taste and the whole family have to isolate. 

 

We want to be able to provide a daily structure to learning until the results of a Covid test are known.  This might be 2 or 3 days but could be up to 5 days.  When the test is negative, the child will return to school. If they need to continue isolating, the daily lesson plans will continue.

 

Please remember that while your individual child is at home, the teachers are continuing to teach their class and therefore cannot use Seesaw in the way they would if everyone in the class was learning from home. However, staff will do their best in communicating with you and your child via Seesaw and children can share their work from the daily lesson plans via Seesaw. 

 

If your child has an EHCP, we will make sure that their home learning meets their needs and links to their EHCP targets. 

 

If your child has a special educational need or disability (SEND)  and is struggling with the home learning daily lessons for their year group, please let us know. 

 

More able children could be extended by following the lesson plans for the year group above their current one. For Year 6 children , please do let us know if the work needs to be more challenging.
