Learning at Home

Our remote learning strategy has been developed, so that should school be forced into a full or part closure scenario we have systems and expectations in place, in line with current government guidelines. These currently are

  • use a curriculum sequence that allows access to high-quality online and offline resources and teaching videos and that is linked to the school’s curriculum expectations
  • give access to high quality remote education resources
  • select the online tools that will be consistently used across the school in order to allow interaction, assessment and feedback and make sure staff are trained in their use
  • provide printed resources, such as textbooks and workbooks, for pupils who do not have suitable online access. We have devices to also loan
  • recognise that younger pupils and some pupils with SEND may not be able to access remote education without adult support and so schools should work with families to deliver a broad and ambitious curriculum

From the day you notify us of self isolation, school will immediately begin to set work for the children. This work is aligned to what is in place for the children that are in school in order that the curriculum sequence is not disrupted. We have been told to provide 3 hours per day, this will be a mixture of seesaw activities and the online platforms that we use. Nursery children this will be around 1 hour of family based activities. Daily feedback will be given by the teachers, this will be outside of the usual school day if the entire bubble is not isolating. Our FLO Mrs King will be in touch to see if you need any help with any of the remote learning during the first day of isolation.

Further details are included in the plan below. The videos below will also help you if you are stuck getting onto our school platforms.

Stay Home Stay Active Weekend Fun- Stockton Sport Partnership

1. Alphabet treasure hunt.

· Find a place to start your treasure hunt. (house, garden or both)

· When someone says GO! you have to find an object from the house or garden that begins with the letter A. This must be no bigger than a shoe box and safe to handle!

· Once you have found it bring it back safely, no running on the stairs!

· You must place the object back where you got it before moving to the next one! Help those adults keep the place tidy!

· Now move on to the letter B.

· If you want to be more active then add some star jumps to your thinking time before you go for your objects.

2. Rainbow treasure hunt.

· If you want to make it different or easier then try the above game but use the colours of the rainbow.

3. Word or name treasure hunt.

· Make it shorter or different by using names or words instead of the alphabet or rainbow.

· For example find objects in the word ACTIVE or EMILY.
