Remote Learning
Plans are in place to ensure that remote learning can be delivered in the event of school closure, bubbles being sent home and individuals having to self isolate.
- Class timetables will be shared with parents and, where required, the Principal will ensure resources are provided.
- Classes will be taught remotely using Microsoft Teams for Y1 – Y6 and Tapestry for Early Years. Children have been taught how to access these resources.
- There will be a blend of independent learning and learning requiring adult support.
- Pre-recorded lessons will be uploaded following the class timetable and clear guidance provided on appropriate external resources to support learning
- Lessons will be designed to move learning forward with children being able to access the curriculum with greater levels of independence depending on age and ability.
- Teachers and TAs will have daily interaction with their classes through Teams and Tapestry with feedback sessions taking place regularly. Parents will be contacted weekly to provide support and class email will be available so that parents can contact the school is further support is needed
- The Principal and SENDCo will ensure that the needs of vulnerable learners are met
- Working with our catering supplier, income related free school meals will continue to be provided
Homework
Infants
Initially, Infant homework is the sharing of reading books and learning to read and write ‘commonly used’ words via their reading trees.
Informal homework is encouraged as they get older such as bringing in items to share linked to our topics.
Juniors (Y3 – Y6)
In addition to spellings, reading and times tables, homework is given weekly. This varies in content but may be open-ended research or the completion of a relevant sheet of work. Homework is done in a homework book.
Extended Learning Tasks ( ELTs) are longer, more open-ended activities that children can interpret more personally. For example it might involve making a poster, booklet, film or model. The idea is that children take their interests and develop them further. Parents are welcome to join in and help on such tasks. They are usually set over 2 – 3 weeks which will include a holiday period.
Reading
We aim to hear children read regularly in school, but also ask that you read with your child and to your child every day whilst they are becoming fluent. Bedtime stories are actively encouraged! Every time your child reads, they should make a record of it in their reading record book. Please sign or comment in the book too.
