Submit work

Evidence Me app: You can upload videos and photos of  your child’s work here. We will then comment and add next steps. 

Social Virtual Meets

Google Classroom: We will use this for the children for the live sessions. The stream can be used for communicating to friends. Please send work using Evidence Me, as we can then give individual feedback and comments. Please note that the stream can be seen by all of the Reception children, parents and staff. Anything published on the stream can be read by everyone. 

We encourage you to send two pieces of work which can be submitted using the  Evidence Me app. Teachers will then provide feedback, children (and adults) can ask their teachers questions. 

Examples of submitted work are pictures, drawings, writing, video clips or creative work which can be sent as a photo or video clip using the Evidence Me app. Evidence Me Parent Guide.

This page from the Twinkl website outlines what child-led play is and why it is important, see here.

Whilst child-led play is important, boundaries and clear expectations should be upheld throughout the play, ie, expectation to put toys away (in Reception, we say, “Choose it, use it, put it away”).

We encourage independent skills and managing basic hygiene and personal needs successfully. From putting on and taking off clothes, coats, shoes and socks. Making their own snacks, such as buttering toast and pouring drinks from jugs. 

Be kind to yourself! We are always here to help and support you if you need us. We understand the difficulties balancing both home learning, work and home life.

If you have any queries or questions please feel free to contact us.

Best wishes,

The Reception Team
