Seesaw
For our learning journals this year we are using seesaw. To access your child's seesaw account download the seesaw family app and scan your child's code which is glued into their home learning book. If you are having any trouble please come into the community before or after school and Miss Mitchell will be able to help.
If you do not have access to the internet, we have ipads that you may use in our community, feel free to ask a teacher in the morning or after school to help you log in.

Reading is a cool idea for Home Learning! You can read to anyone in your family, to yourself, to your cat, or even your cuddly bear! Try to read everyday if you can. You can read Pick n Mix books but you can also read chapter books, newspaper articles, comics, or something else. What are your favourite things to read? Let us know! Also, ask your family to ask you hard questions about what you have been reading!
