Remote Learning Curriculum Plan
Commenced 6.1.2021
From Wednesday 6th January 2021 the children will be receiving their learning via Google Classroom. It is important that children are accessing the learning each day and are completing the tasks set for them. To ensure ease for both children and parents, the learning will all be posted on the class Google Classroom and will consist of recorded videos so that children and parents have the freedom to complete the work at a time and pace suitable for them.
To ensure a consistent and structured approach, each day will consist of a reading, maths and English lesson and then a further lesson based on another area of the curriculum:
Welcome video followed by a reading of the class book by the teacher and questions
Maths lesson with input video and task followed by a whole class feedback video going through the task and how it should have been completed correctly.
English lesson with teacher input and slides followed by task
Additional lesson based on topic, P.E. or forest school
There will also be an afternoon that is reserved for teachers to have live chats with the children in small groups via Google Meets. These will be an important factor in ensuring teachers and pupils are still interacting and sharing their thoughts and feelings and maintaining their social interactions, so it is vital that the children are able to and encouraged to attend.
Here is an example timetable:
Tasks will be set in a variety of ways and we will ensure a balanced approach so that children are not constantly on a device to complete their learning. Tasks will be set to be completed using a variety of methods, such as, Google Forms, Google Docs, Google Slides, handwritten tasks on paper, illustrations, videos, practical creative methods and sometimes won’t have to be evidenced. We will always try to take into consideration the availability of resources at home and that some of the more creative elements will need to cater for children who may not have access to a range of resources, therefore trying to limit the burden on parents and carers.
Feedback will be provided in a variety of ways, either as whole class comments, feedback videos like those in maths or individual comments on Google Classroom, whichever the teacher deems most suitable for that particular task. Teachers will ensure feedback for tasks that require it will be made within 48 hours of completion.
We would also encourage the use of TTRockstars daily for those that use it and that daily reading is taking place as these are such important aspects of the children’s continual development.
We hope that this structured and consistent approach will allow for high quality learning to take place and that children and parents will feel supported at home during this difficult time.
