Home Learning
Blended Curriculum Overview (see Remote Learning Policy for more information)
Any child who is not able to attend school due to an infectious illness, will be supported by school to access their daily lessons via Seesaw (KS1/KS2), or Tapestry (EYFS) if they are well enough. An email is sent out on the first day of reported absence. This includes the half-termly learning overview for their year group and the relevant knowledge mats outlining the expected learning. Children are directed to BBC Bitesize on day one of their absence and are asked to access learning materials using BBC Bitesize (please see link below).
All subjects are covered across the course of each week, with core lessons daily. These follow the content outlined on our knowledge mats, which provide key content for each unit to support with staff delivery and pupil retention of sticky knowledge. These are shared with home learners and also followed by those in school to mirror a blended curriculum offer.
All children not in school are expected to complete remote learning if they are well enough. We can provide iPads, prepaid routers or hard packs if this is not successful. We will arrange drop off of any required resources.
Nursery content will be uploaded daily and is optional, although we’d love children to join in and enjoy what is posted each day.
Reception children will be provided with 2 hours worth of activities that they are required to complete daily, along with additional supplementary activities for those who are able to complete these. We would also recommend daily reading.
KS1 children (Year 1 and 2) will be provided with 3 hours worth of required core content daily, as well as an additional non-core subject for those who are able to complete it. We would also recommend daily reading.
KS2 children (Year 3 to year 6) will be provided with 4 hours worth of required content daily, as well as being encouraged to access their Reading Plus and Accelerated Reader sessions.
All of these timings are in line with those stipulated by the DfE but can be completed in any order and at any time during the day. School staff will check, mark and provide feedback on all work uploaded to ensure learning intentions are met. Non-submission will be followed up with a check-in phone call to offer support.
Resources to use at home:
Within the 'home learning' section of the website you will find a range of resources to suit all age groups.
Seesaw and Tapestry instructions have been emailed to families and children/families can post work on this for teachers to see and provide feedback.
If you are having any problems accessing the above please contact school via email.
