Online Learning Journal "Tapestry"
While your child is at school with us in their Reception Year, we use an online learning journal called Tapestry. This is a secure online Learning Journal to record photos, observations and comments. It builds up a record of your child's experiences during their time with us. You as parents and carers are asked to join and access this Journal and add to it yourselves, just like we do at school!
(Further information about Tapestry will be sent out to you when your child starts with us in September but in the meantime if you would like to look into it further click on the picture link below.)
