New Starters
We are looking forward to welcoming our new starters in September. You will receive an information pack at your stay and play session. The following presentation also provides some useful information: CLICK HERE
Tapestry
Throughout Foundation Stage at Greenwood we use the online learning journal Tapestry to record your child's progress. On Tapestry you will find photos and comments about your child's learning. Children who are accessing remote learning should use this to upload photos/videos of activities being completed at home. If you are unable to access Tapestry, please get in touch with us and we will be able to help with this. Adding your photos helps us create a broader picture of each child and understand their strengths and interests, as well as anything that we can help develop.
Purple Mash
We upload weekly activities to Purple Mash. Your child has their own individual log in details to access the activities on there. Please get in touch if you need help with log in details or accessing set activities.
Reading
Please continue to read to your child at home daily, and record this in their reading diaries. Reading regularly with your child helps develop vocabulary, creativity, understanding of the world and most importantly a long life love of books.
