Updates the the School360 EYFS Learning Journal - EYFS Reforms
The School360 Learning Journal is being updated in readiness for the EYFS reforms taking place this year.
Simplified and flexible approach to recording observations
Choose to tag observations with ELG, COEL or an area of learning if required or just record a simple image and note to share with parents.
Create a bank of observations that can be filtered and searched at a later date when making assessment decisions at key milestones.
The app has been designed to work hand in hand with the School Readiness Passport.
Follow the link on the flier below to join us on the 16th of June for a tour of the new teacher app.

Coronavirus: Transitioning back to school
Coronavirus (COVID-19) restrictions are gradually being lifted across the UK, beginning with schools welcoming back children who they might not have seen face-to-face since before Christmas.
Pupils have spent far more time online than they usually would and have therefore been more likely to encounter risk.
You may find this NSPCC podcast episode a good place to start as we consider how our pupils may have been affected over recent months.
