A whole new Sway of learning!
For children in Foundation Stage to Year 5 you will be receiving a text that has a link to a very special website called a sway; your teachers have built this especially for you. Year 6 will continue to use Teams as they have been doing in class this year.
You can use any device to click on the sway link and you will be taken to your class sway where you will see videos and activities for the day ahead. The approach is to allow children to access learning more independently via the range of devices that you already have in your home. Learning can be done at times that work for you as a family. Children that are in school will be doing exactly the same learning.
Teachers will update the sway each day so you will see it build up over the week. By clicking on the same link each week you will see your new learning and also be able to revisit what you have previously learned.
We had positive feedback from this approach when we used it in an earlier bubble closure. As always, we will be seeking feedback from yourselves as to how things are going. Please do let your teacher know when they call you. As you will be aware many staff are in school and when they are in teaching they will not be able to call or respond to communications as quickly, however rest assured they will get back to you.
Please look out for the text message it will be coming out shortly or click the year link below.

The resources below have also been provided by your teachers over the previous weeks and link to the learning that has gone on in school. Feel free to use them in conjunction with the new sways and the other resources shared below. The idea is to help your child access learning any time they are away from school but are well enough to learn and when they return they are well placed to continue their learning journey. Please bring any completed learning into school so that it can be shared with your teacher.

We have also provided a number of additional packs along with support information for parents (the answers) for all the school years. If your child finds the year group packs too easy, try the next year group, likewise if things are a little too challenging try the year group below. As always if things jump out at you, for example your child never makes any mistakes with their 2x table make a note so that it can be shared with the teachers when they return.
Take care and thank you as always for your support and understanding.
