Continuous learning in Nursery, JKG and SKG supports children in learning through play. Learning offers authentic opportunities to focus on key developmental abilities. Learning engagements emphasize creativity and are linked to the current unit. Students are involved in a balance of activities to holistically support their growth and development. Students will be able to access Continuous Learning from their teachers using Seesaw. This learning process will involve continuous review, reflection and refinement as we develop our online programme. We know you will understand that learning online away form the classroom will look very different to sending your child to school to learn.
