Home Learning
Covid 19 Update – Please click here for the Mengham Infant School – Remote Education Information
We strongly believe children make the most progress where school and home work together to support learning. Our home school learning agreement sets out our shared responsibilities for learning and asks parents to commit to hearing their child read several times a week, as well as support them with their weekly phonics and spelling.
We recognise that different households have differing commitments which can impact the time available to support home learning so we try to take a flexible approach for all other home learning challenges. Each half term year groups will share a 3 x 3 task grid with a range of home learning challenges that can be accessed by the children to supplement their learning in school over the half term. The central block should be completed by all children and we recommend the children complete at least a row of three over the half term and either upload photos onto Seesaw or send their work or photos into school via their communication book. However, all nine activities on the grid could be completed if your child had the time and motivation to do so.
We have our own YouTube channel which we have used to share stories, information, lessons and even pantomimes during periods of school closures
