Remote Learning Activities
In September 2020, all classes at The Cathedral School returned to full-time education following the Covid-19 closure in March. Fortunately, the majority of our children had an uninterrupted experience from September to December. In January 2021 we found ourselves in the position of delivering remote education to many of our children.
Our overarching aim at was to keep our core purpose of teaching and learning continuing as effectively as possible, and to maintain a connection between staff, pupils and their families.
In the remote learning activity tabs you will find a wealth of information, resources which we hope you find useful now and if remote learning is needed in the future.
We know a child may need to be at home or out of school for different reasons. To support these children with learning inofrmation can be found on the remote learning activity tabs. You can stay in touch with the school by posting any learning outside of school on Tapstry.
The Remote Curriculum
The ‘remote curriculum’ is the broad term encompassing any learning that happens outside of the classroom, with the teacher not present in the same location as the children. This may include:
- Online learning where the curriculum is delivered via technology. Our chosen Platform is Microsoft TEAMS. Online Learning can include ‘live’ lessons as well as pre-recorded videos and/or resources to support children’s learning to complete either online or in a paper-based exercise book at home.
- Work packs
- Sign posting families to external apps and websites that would further support engagement in remote learning.
Weekly Overview
Teachers, should we enter another period of lockdown, will endeavour to provide a weekly overview every Friday with a summary of each day’s learning. This will be uploaded to TEAMS every Friday. Links will be provided in this timetable to where parents and children can find the online teaching videos and resources for each lesson. The expectations of lessons each day will be:
- A maths lesson
- An English lesson
- A phonic lesson (Foundation Stage and KS1)
- Spellings/GPS (Year 2 and KS2)
- A lesson for one of the foundation subjects
Daily live calls will be provided for all children.
