Remote Learning at Blackwater School
 
We are providing your child with educational resources, to ensure that they can continue to access learning. We will provide this in these three main ways:
 
1) Weekly remote learning overview for children to follow at home. This will have details of where your child can access learning from different websites. 
 
2) Peer and teacher communication through Seesaw APP. Children will be able to upload photos of their work for staff to feedback. 
 
3) Home Learning Pack - your child will be provided with their own home learning pack, containing selected stage, age and subject related materials for your child to work through at home. This will mainly be to support their fluency in reading, maths and writing, along with SEMH activities. 
 
 
 
 
Four Blackwater Steps to Success 

Our ambition is to clarify the five tasks that pupils should, as a minimum, carry out every day. These tasks should become habits of learning for every pupil at Blackwater.

The impact of this will be that pupils develop a sense of routine; the habit of practising and become agile in core skills. To make them accessible for all, most of these require online access and basic resources.

Do each of these daily tasks at least once every day. Teachers will monitor how often pupils login to the online tools and will be available via Seesaw to offer advice, encouragement and feedback between the hours of 9am-3pm.
