Home Learning
Due to yesterday’s announcement of enforced partial closure from Monday 23rd March 2020 until further notice, it will be essential that you support your child with home learning activities. Please ensure you follow us on twitter (@halewoodcofe) and regularly view our school website as these will be our communication platforms over the comings weeks.
Our home learning platform will be Seesaw. We will be using this platform as a way to communicate with the children and set them learning activities. The children have all been prepared and shown how to log on and use the platform.
1. Download this app on any device or alternatively you can open it in your Internet browser via the link https://app.seesaw.me/#/login
2. Tap ‘I’m a student’
3. Scan or type in your home learning code
4. Post to your journal, respond to activities, and view class announcements.
5. Remember this codes is like a password. Keep it safe.
What are the aims of creating a platform for Home Learning Opportunities?
What will your child be given to support home learning?
How will it all work?

These are additional activities that your child can access to supplement their consolidation of learning.
In addition to the above, we will also be setting a whole school PE Challenge each week. This will be set via Twitter and will involve being active. We will be posting regular updates via Twitter and rewarding the class with the best engagement with the Home Learning Trophy; it would be great to see an engagement via Twitter from parents and carers during this time. Instructions for setting up an account on Twitter can be found in latest news on our website.
