Supporting home learning for pupils unable to attend school
We will use Seesaw as the platform to support home learning. We envisage there being two scenarios when we will need to utilise Seesaw to support home learning:
- If a child is shielding or has tested positive for Coronavirus, but is well. In these circumstances, teachers will upload daily Reading, Spag and Maths learning. The teacher will respond to the child’s work via Seesaw.
- When a class are not in school due to an outbreak, bubble closure or local or national lockdown. In such circumstances, teachers will run a full day of lessons on Seesaw. Lessons will be posted throughout the day and teachers will respond to learning.
A range of tasks, activities and worksheets will support learning and progress. Teachers will use a variety of approaches as they would in normal classroom practice.
If you do not have a suitable computer/tablet to use at home to access Seesaw, school will make alternative arrangements with you so that all children are able to continue with their learning at home in the event of self-isolation or school closure.
Please contact school if you have any concerns about your child’s home learning.
Reading
Reading at home is of huge importance! Even just 10 minutes every day can make a huge difference to your child’s progress in reading. Whether it is a school reading book or something to read at home, please encourage reading as much as you can! Epic is a great resource for reading at home on a tablet.
