Year 1 homeschool content

[Katy55]

Hi
I am keen to hear what kind of content any y1 children are receiving please. Our school is providing plenty of worksheets and the odd video but the only engagement the children have with their teacher/school/classmates is 1 x 20 minute zoom a week.
I have asked school if they intend to increase this and I got a firm no with no explanation. I have questioned further for their reasons why and waiting for a response.
All other friends with children at other schools are getting a minimum 2 x 45 mins sessions a week but most have daily contact, ranging from 1 x session a day, to a couple plus storytime to all day live lessons.
Am I wrong to question this? I think for the children’s morale/motivation and mental health a connection with school over these extended physical closures is so important?

Reception and Y3 - 10-20 zoom call in the morning discussing the day's tasks, then another zoom call at home time for a story or wrap up. Great for kids as they get to see each other's faces and ask the teacher with any questions they might have.

They also get one assembly per day followed by 3 tasks (usually English, maths and creative).

Are schools not able to apply for one to be allocated to that child?

Only from KS2 (so Y3+) and provision is patchy at best.

Our school seem to have interpreted the guidelines to be 3 hours taught online lessons per day for ks1. Is that not what everyone is doing? It's a lot to get DD to sit there for the 4 classes plus to do the set work afterwards.
