Homebased Learning

In order to minimise disruption to children's learning, please do your utmost to support them with the following educational activities. All are of a good quality and have been selected to best support the needs of this year group. They are all also free to use, but may require passwords that have been sent home, either as individual cards or via Marvellous Me.

Please keep in touch with us through Tapestry - you must have your account activated in order to access your child's learning journey. Please upload your child's learning onto Tapestry.

Each day please refer to the attached PowerPoint or PDF at the bottom of the page to access the home learning tasks in line with the daily timetable. These are named with the day of the week.

Paper based learning packs have also been sent home. The learning in these packs are to be completed alongside.
