PREP Learning from Home ActivitiesPlease see attached for a sample schedule that you might like to follow.

Each week there will be multiple activities from the IXL program. The school has registered your child to use this program for English and Maths and a text message will be sent to you with your child’s login and password details.

We are requiring the child to revise activities from the previous year in order to reinforce their skills as we know that repeated practice will lead to mastery. This will also allow them to become accustomed to using the program and should require limited adult assistance.

Your child’s teacher will have access to their class IXL dashboard and will be monitoring the work undertaken daily. Through the dashboard they can see a ‘Live’ view of what activities the child is undertaking at any moment throughout the school day.

Classroom teachers will also be marking the role daily based on the English and Maths activities completed, and for Years 3-6, how frequently your child is completing the Literacy Pro Quiz.

Please be aware that this ‘attendance’ and work completed will also form part of your child’s Mid Year Report.

Each day, your child’s class teacher will be available through online support from 9.00am – 3.30pm.
