Remote Learning

What ‘remote learning’ can I expect from Ampney Crucis' C of E  Primary School?
This information is to be used as a general guide and parents can expect further details of remote learning for their child as and when it is required. We aim to implement remote learning from your child’s second day of absence (a pack will be sent out on the first day of suggested activities and apps etc.  that they can do that day). There are three general scenarios outlined below; the first scenario where your child is not permitted to attend school and the second outlines the actions in the case of a whole bubble not being permitted to attend school.

The government’s Oak Academy online lessons can be used for remote learning for every year group, covering a wide range of curriculum objectives.   

My child is absent because they are awaiting test results, and our household is required to self-isolate. The rest of their school bubble are attending school and being taught as normal.

 If your child is too unwell to work, we would of course not expect the work to be completed.

Maths lessons (yr 1- 6) will be Cando Maths linked to work in school and work to be completed.

English tasks for KS1/KS2 will be sent via email to parents. Year 5 and 6 children will be able to access tasks on their google log in.

Watch Twinkl phonic videos for Early years and KS1 to work on the phonics your child will be missing – teacher will direct you to the appropriate video.

Topic task(s) following the lessons being covered in class that week. f the lessons being taught in class are not able to be delivered remotely (e.g. if it requires additional resources such as art resources e.g. clay or pastels, or geography resources e.g maps and atlases) then alternative ‘topic’ learning which may make use of the Government’s ‘Oak Academy’ lessons.

My child’s whole bubble is not permitted to attend school because they, or another member of their bubble, have tested positive for Covid-19.

 For each year group the teachers will produce a suggested timetable and a daily plan.

Maths lessons

The quantity and format will be dependent on age/stage of your child.  Teams will be used and there will be a mixture of live lessons (any lessons will be recorded so can be watched at another point), pre-recorded videos and independent work.  Answers will be provided for self-marking at home. Children from year 2 up will also spend time on Times Tables Rock Stars
