Online Learning Journey
Tapestry – Online Learning Journey
Due to the fantastic success of our online Learning Journeys we have decided to continue with them this year. We will create individual ‘Learning Journeys’ for your child through a piece of educational software called ‘Tapestry’. By logging on to a mobile application or computer with a secure username and password you will be able to view all of your children’s observations, photographs and even videos from their time in Reception. You will receive an email informing you of when a new observation or piece of work is available for you to view. This will enable you to follow your child’s individual progress closely and you can reflect upon their achievements with your children.
Additionally you as parents can add comments to our observations as well as add observations of your own so that we as a staff find out about which activities your child really enjoyed and the learning they get up to at home.
E-safety is extremely important to us at St Vincent’s, therefore we ask you to provide us with up to date information and to sign the ‘Tapestry Parent Agreement’ in the New Starter packs (also available at the main office) to show that you understand and will agree with our security guidelines. All of this information is stored on a highly secure server which is monitored closely.
We know how much you like to see your child coming home proudly clutching their most recent piece of work, therefore we will photograph the pieces of work we need to keep as evidence and then send them home with your child. The children will also have the opportunity to put their work in their individual ‘Learning Journey books’ which will be stored in class.
During our Stay and Read sessions we will provide laptops for you to view your child’s online Journey. For those who don’t have internet access at home and would like to view their children’s work, please ask a member of staff and we can make arrangements at school. At the end of the school year we will email you with a PFD version of the online learning journey to keep.
We are sure that you will love this new way of viewing your child’s achievements as much as we do!
