Thank you for all your hardwork with remote learning over the last three weeks. We recognise and appreciate the daily challenges you encounter as you juggle work and other commitments to ensure your child continues to learn.

We endeavour to keep your experience of remote learning as seamless as possible. Please watch this video message to find out how we are continuously streamlining your experience of accessing your child’s learning materials and lessons. Your views matter to us, so we  thank you for your response to the survey sent to parents of children learning at home.

We look forward to the continued support of your child’s learning this week. If you have any concerns or questions, please email us at our usual email address.

Kind Regards,

The Reception Team

Please see link below for a suggested timetable of how to structure your day of remote learning for your Reception child at home. Each week, the suggested weekly timetable will inform you of the lesson focus for live lessons as well as what you will need to have ready for live lessons.

Weekly Timetable for Reception Remote Learning

The children at school will follow a similar structure to their day at school. We recognise that your individual circumstances at home may differ in many ways. So, please only use this a guide to plan your day of learning for your Reception child by choosing when to do the learning activities suggested. This way you can choose how much time your child spends using a screen for any one peiod of time, with breaks built in to allow for time away from computer or phone screens.

It is important for your Reception child to have opportunities throughout the day to engage in play activities, which we refer to as free flow activities. These should be planned around other learning activities each day. It also provides opportunities for your child to interact meaningfully with you, developing their communication and language skills as well as for their emotional and social development.

For children learning at home, we only ask for one activity to be submitted on Google Classroom. We have provided a sharing folder for any other work you would like to share with us. There is no expectation for you to share everything you do with your child in this folder. We are aware of  how time consuming this can be, so only share if you have the time to do this.

We welcome hearing from you about how you structure your child’s day of remote learning. So, please get in touch via email and share what has worked well for you.
