Home Learning
Following the recent Government announcement regarding school closures, we have created resources to support and encourage home learning opportunities and established plans for pupil: teacher contact during these difficult times. Below is an outline of what we have in place for the short term (up until the Easter break).
- Each teacher will make email contact every Monday to set tasks for pupils in their class.
- Teachers will then email again on Wednesday to touch base and check in on pupils.
- Every Friday Mrs Groves will email all pupils in school.
- We will expect pupils to email their teachers at least once a week to let them know that tasks have been completed and if they have any questions.
- We will provide pupils with their homework books for recording any work that they do at home. In addition to this we will be sending a new home learning exercise book for your child to use.
- We expect that children will continue to read, practise spelling and times tables and in addition complete all tasks set.
- All pupils (Y1-6) have access to our Learning PLatform - DBPrimary (this will work on mobile phones, tablets and laptops) and have had experience in using this resource. You can access the Learning Platform via the school website (link - bottom right corner of home page).
In addition to this we have set up a series of weblinks for each Key Stage. These are presented on a 'Padlet' which can be accessed by clicking on the links below. Should the school closure continue longer term, then staff will email pupils tasks to do on specific sites and may ask for an email or DBPrimary entry to share their learning. Additional weblinks will be added at a later date.
If you have any questions about any of the tasks pupils have been set please email your child's teacher or the admin team.
Learning Agreement
Without knowing how long the school closures may last we have put together some guidelines that you may find helpful in developing positive learning at home. It is important to maintain a balance of funtime, down times, family times, screen time and learning times - not an easy thing to do. A learning agreement may help to create a positive routine.
