Happy New Year to all the children in Reception and their families, and welcome to the new Spring term.
​
​We're so sad we can't welcome you all back into school, but also very excited about the home learning we have planned!
edit.

​
​Each day there will be a whole class live video session on zoom at 10am. Just like school, everybody is expected to attend. Lucy will email parents each morning with the video link and password. Please do check your emails to find your 'zoom info for parents' document, which should tell you all you need to know about logging in, staying safe and zoom protocols. We're really looking forward to seeing your smiley faces :)

​After our zoom you need to check the blog everyday as there will be an activity to follow the class session.
​
There will also usually be a phonics video for you to join in with, a maths challenge and then a story or song for the end of the day. 

 You should have received an email this week with details to your new Tapestry account that enables you to access your child's online Learning Journal. 


Once you've activated your account you will be able to photograph your children's learning and upload it to their Journal. The Reception team will then be able to support your child and help move their learning on. 
 

​To upload your child's learning, click the 'add observation' button on their Journal, and then follow the instructions. I can't wait to see what everyone is getting up to!

As well as commenting on Journal entries I may also email you regarding your children's learning, and with any important announcements.

If you have any questions do not hesitate to email me on vpsreceptionclass@virginia.towerhamlets.sch.uk and I will try and get back to you as soon as I can.
