I hope you have all had a restful half term break.

As you will be aware from Mr Fordham's email before the end of the half term, we are making some changes to our Distance Learning offer. This is in response to parent feedback.

This includes some changes to the timetable for Reception. This can be found on the website and via Google classroom. I have also uploading a copy to Tapestry, in the memo function.

Every child has previously been given their google email and password. You will need to use these to log in. Each child has been sent an invitation to join their individual class and a whole Reception classroom. It is important that both these invitations are accepted before next Monday (22nd) in order to receive the links and invitations needed to join the google Class Catch ups or the Live lessons.

We will now be holding 3 'Class Catch ups' each week, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Your child's teacher will send a link via their individual google classroom (Squirrels, Badgers, Rabbits). This will be a short live session for your child, their class mates and their teacher.

We will also be holding two live lessons each week, on Tuesday and Thursday at 9am. These Live lessons will be Literacy based. These Live lessons will be for the whole year group. Invitations will be sent via the Reception google classroom.

For the first 2 weeks of term we will be putting any work/resources onto both the website (as previously) and google classroom.

Submitting work/evidence:
As we have Tapestry up and running and working effectively we will continue to use this as the way parents submit their child's work/evidence of learning. Please DO NOT submit via google classroom.

If you have any questions, you can still contact us via Tapestry or the help email.

Kind regards
Mrs Johnstone and the Early Years team
