Remote Learning
Here at Monksdown Primary we are committed to making sure our online, blended learning (also known as remote learning) is of the same quality as our in class learning. As per government guidelines, school has been considering its approach to ‘blended learning’; this is where learning takes place both at home and in school. The guidance says that if a child cannot attend school because they are isolating or asymptomatic, school still has a responsibility to provide them with an education.
How to access the Remote Home Learning
On each Year group’s remote learning page, there is a link to follow for the weekly work for your child while they are learning at home. Each Year Group has an email address to send the work in to their teacher.
Additionally there are two online platforms that we use within our school.
EYFS
In EYFS we use tapestry to create learning logs for each of our children so parents can see what their child has been up to during their school day. We also use this to send homework to our children or work to children who may be off from school for what ever reason.

You can also access the Weekly Plans in KS2 on Google Classroom.
If a class or bubble were to be sent home to isolate they will be given a google classroom log in. This is so during the 2 week isolation period they can have a face to face meeting with their teacher and classmates each morning to catch up and possibly go through any work they may have not understood that was set for them on seesaw.
