Through the week all pupils will experience a wide range of curriculum areas. You will receive a half termly newsletter and class timetable to understand these areas better.
Home School Communication – all have a learning journal on tapestry, we use the “Care Diary” section for our home school communication. This is a great communication tool to share brief accounts of the school day, your child’s evening or morning. Please use this to support relationships and effective communication with class teams.
Tapestry & Home Learning – All pupils have an online Tapestry learning journal. Staff will evidence and share learning experiences on a weekly basis. We invite parents to post and share the home learning experiences that take place during the week, weekends and holidays which link to their learning intentions or our curriculum topics. Please contact us if you are experiencing problems with this.
