Home Learning
Home Learning Overview
Dear Parent/Carer,
As you may be aware, schools are required to have a remote learning plan in place so that any child who cannot attend school because of COVID-19
does not miss out on their learning. This letter explains our plans for remote learning for children who have to self-isolate, or where local or national
restrictions mean that children need to stay at home.

Our remote plan:
Our remote learning plan has been made with our pupils and their families in mind. We believe that this strategy will work best for the children at our school.
We would expect children to work on their home learning during the hours of a normal school day. Although, we do realise this may need to be flexible
for varying reasons, such as where children are sharing IT equipment.
For our home-learning provision we will be providing all children from nursery to year 6 with a Purple Mash password. Purple Mash is a comprehensive
suite of online learning tools and content, designed to be used by Primary aged children in the classroom and at home. Every curriculum subject is covered
on Purple Mash as well as online books that will ensure children can continue with their reading at home. The older children have used Purple Mash in the
classroom already but if you would like to find out more than you can go to https://2simple.com/parents. Purple Mash enables your child’s class teacher to
view the work they have completed and offer feedback and support for improvement.
As well as Purple Mash, we will provide work both on the blog and at times via email. The class blogs can be accessed through the school website in the
class page folder and by clicking on the Meadows logo. We will continue to update the children’s Abacus accounts with mathematical games and challenges
and children from year 2 onwards should continue using TT Rockstars. When possible, we will also produce a paper pack of work for children to complete
and these can be requested via email.
As much as possible, the work that will be set will reflect what the child(ren) would have been learning if they were at school.
You and your child will be able to communicate daily with the class teacher either by using the email facility on Purple Mash or the class email address (see below).
