General

We will be using Seesaw as our online learning platform for homework as well as any wow moments we would like to share. We also ask that you, as parents, share things with us too. The children love to share their photos with the class. The log in details will be sent home ASAP. We like to use this site daily so please check regularly for updates of your child’s learning. We usually send a text if there is something exciting to look at. 
 

Please do feel free to say hello and get to know us and we look forward to getting to know yourself and your child over the next few weeks.
