Teaching and Learning in Spring Term 2021

School will not fully open as planned following the Lockdown announcement from the Government. School will be open for Key worker and vulnerable children. All other children at home will have access to Remote Learning as follows:

Recorded English and Maths lessons, and matching activities will be shared by class teachers each morning on Dojo. These will mirror the teaching that is happening in school and can be accessed at any time.  When children complete work set by the teacher, this can be uploaded to Dojo messages or portfolios for marking and feedback.

Live ZOOM sessions are also available throughout the week, where children can talk with their class teacher, explore other subjects and see their classmates. Links for these sessions are shared by teachers through Dojo.

Rapid Reading ebooks have been assigned to children and are available to access at the Activelearn Primary website. There is a link for this in the websites section on this page.

Further guidance on our remote learning can be found in the document link below.

Remote Learning Parent Info Jan 21

If you have trouble accessing the learning or have issues with IT equipment please contact school and we will try to support you with this.  Below you will find links to Dojo videos, that can help you to login, upload to portfolios or get in touch with the Dojo helpdesk.

At the bottom of this page, you will also find additional websites that your child can access and we recommend, including those that they have individual login accounts for.

However, following the class Dojo and completing the daily tasks set by teachers is the best way to ensure your child stays in touch with their learning, and is on track for when we can get back into the classroom.
