HOME LEARNING
Please see below for information about the distance learning the school would offer in the event of school closure.
Home learning will be available for each year group. This will vary according to the year group to ensure it is age-appropriate and meets the needs of the pupils. It will include things such as:
- Daily online sessions for a range of subjects areas, and Google Classroom. This will include recorded teaching inputs and activities to complete,
- ‘Live’ Story reading sessions, via a secure link on Google Classroom,
- A ‘live’ weekly assembly, via a secure link on Google Classroom.
Year groups will also be setting additional activities to complete throughout the week and signposting you to additional resources to support learning at home. All pupils will also receive a ‘catch-up’ phone call once a week from a member of staff.
Google Classrooms
We encourage all pupils to complete their distance learning online, via the Google Classroom platform. This is an interactive tool where children can view and submit work in their own class and also interact with their teachers.
If your child has forgotten or lost their Google Classroom log in, please contact your child’s teacher.
