Similar to others. Phonics and spelling, 45 mins of maths (white rose video and worksheets), 25 mins of English and 45 mins of topic work. Topic covers art, science, history etc under a theme like Egypt, Dinosaurs etc. Plus reading.
We don't have any virtual 'live' lessons but can go online in the morning for a quick hello, or we just comment to say hello. This is our register, basically. It's very flexible and I like it. Fridays have no set work and is a chance to catch up on anything missed Mon - Thurs. We also have a virtual assembly each week.
There are chances to speak online if needed for help on anything through the week, but the teachers are also dealing with children in school with them as well.
I'm very happy with the set up. We're rural and lots of families are farming, with lambing starting up now so they can't expect every child to be in front of a camera every day.
They aim for around 3 hours work a day, and we can stop and start as needed/wanted, especially with a 2 year old interrupting!
