Continuous Learning in the Elementary School supports children’s development through experiential learning and inquiry. Learning offers authentic opportunities to focus on key concepts, knowledge, and skills. Learning engagements are fun and playful and emphasize interaction and creativity. Activities involve a balance of on-screen and off-screen tasks designed to engage learners in experiences that connect to previous learning and the current curriculum. 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.
