How are primary schools providing work for home learning?

[NCTDN]

It seems to very massively between schools - what are you doing?
I'm aware that some people are finding remote teaching incredibly stressful from reading these threads. I don't feel like I'm doing enough.
We provided paper based packs for the weeks before easter and login details for seesaw. Some children have uploaded some of their work to seesaw which I've marked as best I can.
After Easter we will be setting tasks on seesaw. Am I alone in not using zoom, teams or Google classroom?

Tasks set on purple mash and also workbooks sent home

We sent out a lot of paper-based packs on the day we closed, enough for the last two weeks of term. Maths is done on-line. We won't send anything out over what should be the Easter holidays.
We are currently trying to assemble worthwhile and meaningful tasks for after Easter that don't involve us having to provide packs (delivery/collection an issue). We have also had complaints feedback that lots of people apparently don't have printers so can't download and print stuff either.
We're not set up for any online learning platforms apart from Mathletics, which has limitations.

DS1 in year 2 had a couple of paper worksheets and list of online resources sent home. His teachers are suggesting further activities and resources every couple of days via Marvellous Me and emailed a bunch of worksheets out this week too. We can't contact the teachers and no individual support.

I'm struggling to wfh and support him to do these. We do have a printer but the ink costs a fortune. We don't have a spare laptop whilst we are both working and have one tablet between 2 dc.

DS2 is year 6. They had pretty much finished the Y6 curriculum and were focussing on SATS. He was sent home with a bunch of SATS practice papers. He has done a couple but seems a bit pointless given there won't be any SATS and his scores were really high. No communication or emails from his teachers at all.

Have found loads of interesting stuff that he could do online - but again struggling to support with this/balance work/younger child.

@NCTDN I would guess so, there were very few families who said they needed them, which leaves many families who could access the online stuff but don't!

We sent home individual learning folders with two weeks work. We included a timetable of daily tasks for guidance .Our class page on the school website is updated regularly and activities are set on purple mash too .
I live in same area so I know several parents . The feedback has been positive .

Another pack has been organised this week to go out the first week back after the Easter holidays .
My son is in year 6 so he’s preparing for his transfer /aqe next Year . We are concentrating on that along with numeracy, literacy and lots of reading . He attends the school I work in which is useful .

For those of you not receiving much in the way of work . There’s an excellent website called Topmarks with lots of interactive games .
Hit the button is especially good and there’s an app too . It allows you to input names and it records their highest score etc . Very good at improving tables and number recall speeds .

I am sending work daily for reading, grammar, maths and spelling plus twice weekly writing tasks and twice weekly topic tasks. I set for 5 and 6 and differentiate so I am setting at 5 levels. It's a huge amount of work. It's on google classroom. I am endeavouring to mark as the work comes in. It's what the trust expect though.

Daily email with spag, comprehension, literacy, maths and topic tasks. We are online all day- children email a photo of their work as they finish each activity and we respond via email. Some tasks are online e.g ttrockstars and Mymaths but most of it they do in exercise books we sent home. It's working well now - if they do not submit the work the head phones their parents.

Very unimpressed with our school. No packs sent home. List of websites we might find useful! Yes we might find them useful if we knew where to start but we are not teachers and you are giving no guidance. The teacher has now put the occasional comment on Google Classroom but barely any work suggestions. 90% of the teachers are at home because only a handful of keyworker kids. Lots of unhappy parents.

if they do not submit the work the head phones their parents that’s so inappropriate for a primary school.
I am very grateful that my dc school has provided suitable work , marks it, easy communication and a message to say it’s not a problem if work isn’t finished , they are just revisiting previous concepts and the children’s well being is the priority.
@Sprogstersmum you head will cause stress to parents and children!

We sent packs home with the children with as many resources as we could put together at such short notice - my Y1s had a handwriting book, writing book, maths squared book and plain book (all unused old stock), cardboard printed number line, 100 square, numicon, a phonics mat, pencil (and coloured pencil, sharpener, rubber for the ones I know don't have at home), maths activity workbook, 4 x reading books etc.

We are a very low tech small LEA school (no iPads, no log-ins for activity websites, no school platform etc) so we v quickly signed up for ClassDojo and got children and parents signed up on the last two days. Few of our families have laptops, but most have smart phones, and many have some sort of tablet. Take up has been good, with about 18/30 doing loads, the rest doing some and only 3 who haven't engaged at all. I'm really enjoying ClassDojo. We upload activity challenges every day - phonics, maths, writing and some sort of topic/Science/Art. I am doing little teaching videos to upload with the challenges that explain and model the task. Children/parents then upload photos, videos and comments back to me. I'm also doing a story video about every other day, with a matching comprehension/discussion activity. I realise that with 5 and 6 year olds this is probably more straightforward than with older children. It is time-consuming though - I'm working nearly normal school hours, and also trying to do curriculum development and CPD stuff we've been asked to do. We're not phoning or emailing anyone, except some of our 'vulnerable families' who we check in with most days.

We're discussing as a staff how to continue into the Summer Term - whether to attempt to teach our planned themes, or plan new ones that better suit home learning, or whether to carry on practising/retrieval of stuff we've already taught. Would be interested to know what other schools are doing.
