This page of our website will share links to some learn activities for those children who are unable to attend school whilst we are open.
Learning support activities of unable to come to school/ self isolating:
Tudor Primary has already invested in learning materials that will be sent home in the event of a school closure. We pledge to maintain daily contact with the children and each class will have its own specific email to aid communication with the teaching team. Daily activities will be set as well as extra ideas to engage children in their learning.
The Friends of Tudor have also invested in some wonderful creative ideas that are sure to inspire children during a school closure. There will even be regular fun challenges that the children can respond to. We are determined to ensure that #TeamTudor recognises that we are all supporting each other in this time of difficulty.
In the meantime, whilst the vast majority of children are still able to come into school, not all children are able to attend. We continue to work pro actively and we trust you recognise our efforts in ensuring that children still feel part of our school. The websites/ resources below can be accessed. Please keep an eye on this new page on the website for further updates.
We do recognise that many of these activities are computer based. They do contain downloadable activities worksheets but we have invested in more 'hands-on' activities being sent out during a school closure. We have not sent these out already because we want teachers to be able to engage with the classes when these are set each day/ each period during any period school is closed.
