These photos show you lots of the ways our children learn.
We follow the children interests and ask them what they want to learn about. This keeps them motivated and helps them see themselves as active learners. We record all the learning that we do in Floor Books, such as this theme of the Julia Donaldson book, Zog.
We truly believe that we can’t be your child’s best teachers without your help. We love to work in partnership with parents and involve you as much as we can in your child’s learning. There will be many opportunities as the year goes on for you get involved and share your child’s achievements with us as much as we share them with you.
We use Tapestry in school as our online Learning Journey. It is important that you sign up for Tapestry as soon as you are prompted (your invite will come via email) so you can start to see observations of your child in school from day one. If your child is in our Nursery their account will simply transfer into Reception and you do not need to do anything.
If you have a current Prince Edward Tapestry account and would like to start adding observations of your Summer so Miss O’Connell and Miss Ward can see what your child is doing please do so.
If your child has been at a different Nursery and you would like to start emailing the Reception teachers now with some of the things your child likes to do at home you can use the following email addresses. As your child has not yet been allocated a class yet you can pick either or send it to both, up to you.
Miss O’Connell – Onyx Class- onyx@princeedward.sheffield.sch.uk
Miss Ward – Garnet Class- garnet@princeedward.sheffield.sch.uk
These Graduation videos of the current Reception children will also show you the sorts of things your child will be doing when they are in school.
