Home Learning

Welcome to our Home Learning Zone.

This is where we will set activities for you to complete at home, together with providing the necessary support and guidance you may require. Information about how to talk to your child about COVID-19 can be found here.

Within this zone you will see;

A Video Centre where you will find videos of activities and guidance on how to approach tasks.

A Class Blog which is where we will communicate with you. You can access your class blog and post questions or comments you have about the activities you are completing.

In order to access the blog and start to communicate with your teacher you will require your blogging username and password which your teacher will provide.
