Home Learning EYFS

Welcome to Mrs Craig and Miss Atkinson’s Home Learning page for children in Reception and Nursery.

On this page you will find lots of links to activities and suggested learning opportunities that can take place at home whilst we are not at school. Some of these are online tasks, whilst others promote interaction and play based learning in the home.  As you work through these, we really encourage parents to take photos, videos etc of their children learning and post these on our Tapestry site, which you are all familiar with.

Home Learning 2021

Thursday 07.01.21

From today, all of the Early Years home learning activities will be on our new online learning platform ‘Seesaw’. Parents have been sent their child’s personalised login code by email, along with details of how to access Seesaw using either a PC, laptop, tablet or phone. Once you have logged in, you will find a video to help you navigate the platform and your child will have a variety of activities to complete each day. They will also be able to communicate with their teacher and receive regular feedback, help and advice. We hope that our children will enjoy this new way of online learning – if you have any issues at all when logging in, please contact school.
