Learning at Home

With mental health at the forefront, we want to reassure our whole school community that the quality education of your children will continue. We have identified our priorities as being:

• Maintaining each child’s relationship with their school and their teachers.
• Efficient and easy-as-possible communication between the children, families and the school.
• The most efficient and easiest ways to provide feedback to your children on their learning.
• To reassure you that the staff here at Sawyers Valley are working harder than ever behind the scenes to ensure that the home learning we are providing is of the highest standard.

There are some daily activities that have always been important and that at this point in time are now even more so:

• Encourage daily reading
• Include children in the extra chores around the home
• Spend lots of time outside in the garden in the fresh air (being sunsafe)
• Allow time for some down time for your children
• Give them some time to come up with their own independent games/activities where they invent, create and problem solve.
