Learning Journals Update

This week, staff are setting individual learning targets for each child. These will be available on Learning Journals from Monday 27th October.

Please like and comment on your child’s post to show your agreement with the targets. We really value parental engagement and believe your input into your child’s learning journey plays an important part in their progress.

Targets will be the only upload this week, and there will be more than one for each child. Staff will link future observations to these targets so you can see the wonderful progress your child is making.

If you have any questions, please speak with your child’s key worker.

Thank you for your continued support.
