Home Learning

We expect children to read a minimum of 3 times a week; this should be logged on boom reader. If you need support with boom reader, please speak to a member of staff. 

In Early Years, we use Tapestry, this is a Learning Journal where you will be able to see what your child has been up to at school. We encourage you to contribute to your child's learning journal, we love the opportunity to see what the children have been up to at home and share this with the class. From time to time, we will upload 'Champion Challenges' for your child, these relate to your child's next steps in their learning.
