Remote Learning – Orchard Primary School

Remote Learning Provision 

At Orchard Primary School, we are committed to ensuring that all children can continue their learning in the event of a short-term school closure or when pupils are unable to attend school.

Remote learning will be provided through the ClassDojo platform, which will be used as the main method of communication between school, pupils and families.

NB. In the event of a longer-term national or local lockdown, remote learning will be delivered via Google Classroom. 

How Learning Will Be Set

Teachers will post learning activities and guidance on Class Dojo. Work will largely consist of:

• A Maths task
• An English task
• Completing activities from the current homework menu
• Daily reading
• Practising multiplication skills using Times Tables Rock Stars

Additional activities or guidance may also be shared by class teachers where appropriate.

Expectations for Pupils

We encourage pupils to:

• Access Class Dojo regularly
• Complete tasks to the best of their ability
• Read every day
• Spend time practising times tables on Times Tables Rock Stars
• Ask for help through Class Dojo if they are unsure about any task

Expectations for Parents and Carers

Parents and carers can support remote learning by:

• Helping children establish a daily routine
• Encouraging regular reading and learning
• Checking Class Dojo for updates and messages

Communication

Teachers will use Class Dojo to:

• Share learning activities
• Provide announcements and updates
