Welcome to our dedicated home learning page.
During any school closure, pupils at South Hetton Primary School may access a remote learning programme to ensure all children continue to receive a progressive and appropriately challenging curriculum at home.
Our main platform for remote learning is ClassDojo. All children have access to their own portfolio, where learning activities and resources are shared. If you require support accessing your account, please contact the school and we will be happy to assist.
Teachers will upload a range of resources, including pre-recorded teaching clips, slides, audio explanations, worksheets, activities, challenges and links to additional websites to support learning. Suggested timings for daily activities are provided as guidance only; families may adapt these to suit their child’s needs and complete activities in an order that works best for them. However, it is important that daily learning is completed, as lessons are designed to be progressive and build on prior knowledge. Any websites that need to be accessed will be shared on ClassDojo, along with any login details needed.
Teachers and teaching assistants regularly monitor ClassDojo throughout the day and provide feedback on work uploaded to pupils’ portfolios. Parents and carers can also use the platform to communicate with staff and ask any questions, ensuring continued support for all learners.
PE and Wellbeing
It is really important to stay active during any periods of school closure; this is important not only for our physical health but also for our mental health.
There are a variety of activities you can do including going for a walk, out for a bike ride or playing in the garden. Wellbeing activities and challenges will also be shared on ClassDojo.
