Seesaw in Year 5 

A. No. Teachers in Nursery and Reception record learning and reflections as part of their practice. Seesaw allows them to share these observations with you. In Years 1-6 the children will increasingly begin to exercise more independence in choosing which work to share and their reflections will deepen. Again, reflecting on their own learning is something we would ask the children to do as part of their learning and Seesaw is providing a window into this thought process for you. This creates the opportunity to engage with them in conversations about what they have learned, which the research suggests has a positive impact on learning.

If you had children in Nursery, Reception or Year 1 last year during campus closure, you will know we were using Seesaw as an online learning platform. However, when children are at school, Seesaw serves a very different purpose. In order to facilitate using Seesaw in the classroom, we have had to remove posting from home for security reasons. This is something we will consider in the future should we feel it will adds to the learning. 

A. Seesaw is used by schools worldwide and they take privacy and security very seriously. Please click this link for more details.
