Home Learning
The Seesaw website or app is the way we share our home learning.
Please do not use Seesaw as a communication tool as messages can be missed. We always welcome parents to call the School office or speak with the class teacher in person.
Your child will have an individual log and any technical issues please speak with the office or the class teacher.
Your child is expected to upload a recording of them reading once a week for a maximum of 5 minutes. The class teacher is then able to give feedback.
Spelling Shed.
https://play.spellingshed.com/#/login
The Spelling Shed helps children to practise spellings via simple games. Your child’s teacher will set lists of words that your child should practise and will monitor their progress through the assignment.
