Home Learning 2020


Welcome to Home Learning!
Our home learning has a large portion of work offline. The children are used to working mostly offline and using technology to supplement what we do. If you strike any problems please let us know and we will try to help. We are new to working "remotely" and will try to help.

We are trying really hard to deliver a balanced curriculum that keeps them moving on the basics while still allowing time for the things they enjoy at home. 

Some key messages for learning at home are:
·   We all need to be easy on ourselves. If your child is struggling with an aspect of home learning try something else.
·   We have kept reading, writing and maths to 20-30 minutes for each subject each day. Read the requirements for each area with them. 
·   Please help them download or access the documents required. Mostly these will be embedded in the Blog or accessed through links on the Blog.
·   If your child would like to do additional work they are able to go into the blog and do ‘can do’ activities.


Please be assured, we don’t want anyone to stress about this aspect of lockdown. If your child refuses to do a task or if it creates too many issues for your family don’t push it. We realise you may be juggling the learning of more than one child and your own work as well. Only do what is manageable for you as a family.

Note: Syndicate-wide "must do" tasks  are available through the tabs at the top and side of the page. 
Class EPIC codes are on classroom pages.
Teachers may also use the class pages to post spelling words and additional videos or puzzles for their tamariki.

If you have any questions please ask your child's teacher.
