Our kids are in year 3 and year 1 of our local state primary. They were each sent home with a print out of the twinkl school closure pack and a couple of other worksheets. We’ve had no communication from the head about what to expect going forward and a few messages from the individual teachers linking to useful websites for home education.
Our school is completely shut and the key worker children are going to a different local school. I think the teachers from all the local schools must be working some kind of rota system to staff the key worker school, so on an individual level none of them will be doing much.
Their teachers seem enthusiastic and hardworking. I’m surprised that we have not had anything from them, even a note to say that they plan to do nothing or that they plan to do something and they’ll let us know. I’m interested to hear what others’s experiences are before I email the headteacher and ask what I should expect. I just want to get on and plan something for them if the school aren’t going to do anything!
I know lots of the fee paying schools have been running online classrooms and essentially attempting to deliver the same teaching to the children despite school closures. Clearly they need to justify the fees so I’m specifically asking about state primary schools as I want to compare like with like.
