Learning Logs (Click here to see the latest Learning Log tasks )

We will also be creating other activities on Seesaw to give the children variety of learning for different subjects. When the children log into Seesaw they will see announcements sent by teachers and activities we have set. 

These can be completed in Learning Logs (a photo can be taken and uploaded to Seesaw) on Seesaw itself or in another manner that can be filmed and put on Seesaw. 

We encourage the children to share all their learning with us, as we hope to be able to communicate back and forth with them and continue to support them with their learning. 

Daily exercise Joe Wicks The Body Coach will be streaming daily PE lessons at 9:00am each morning through his YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAxW1XT0iEJo0TYlRfn6rYQ  click on the "Subscribe" button to be informed when it is starting.
