Remote Education
Blended Learning
Blended learning is an approach to education that combines online educational materials and opportunities for interaction online with traditional classroom-based methods.
Blended learning has in particular come to the forefront during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic to allow children to continue to access the curriculum when isolating from school.
When providing remote learning, teachers will be available between 9am and 3:30pm.
Children’s learning will be appropriately differentiated through adapted resources and direction towards another year group’s learning where appropriate.
Daily video calls with the class will be run in order to teach, read a story, direct children towards fun activities and touch base with the children. This will also allow teachers the opportunity to check in on the children in their class for safeguarding reasons.
Communication for this will be through class Dojo.
When providing remote learning, teachers are responsible for:
- Setting work –:
English
We will set a week / week and a half of talk for writing which will then be followed by a week of grammar and punctuation.
Talk for Writing
