Home Learning
Thank you to all the parents and children who worked so hard during 'Lockdown' between March and July. This Home Learning Page and Class Pages showcase some of the great work completed at home.
On this page you will find lots of links and information which is relevant to home learning. If home learning is required due to isolation of individual pupils, groups or bubbles, teachers will liaise parents/carers/children to ensure there is a continuation of learning during this time. Our platform for home learning is Purple Mash. We also use Sumdog to set a wide range of activities for home learning and blended learning. Please visit our Curriculum page for information about our platforms. Each class has a class email address which can be used to contact teachers about home learning. Teachers and Support Assistants are happy to help with any issues you may have regarding home learning.

Y2 Author's Recognition
Earlier in our time of Home Learning, two of our Y2 children wrote and sent their own stories to author Nicola Colton, who writes the stories about Jasper and Scruff. She was so impressed with the stories that she has tweeted them for public viewing (@nicolacolton1). They also appeared on her Instagram (nicolacolton1). Her editor was tagged as it was thought that she would be ‘really impressed’.
We are so proud of the children and their work. This acknowledgement is so well deserved.
