Weekly Homework
In Reception we like to share our learning with you. Each week we will update you with the letters and sounds we are learning or with activities based around our maths focus through Seesaw. We will share photos of what we have been doing in school. Your child will bring home a personal log in code and instructions which will allow them to access their own Seesaw Journal and activities which have been set by the Reception team.
Remote Learning:
We’ll be setting all remote learning on Seesaw. Activities will be uploaded daily for the children to access and complete. If you are having any problems with Seesaw then please contact your child’s teacher on the following email addresses:
