Our Guided Home Learning

We have a very comprehensive online guided home learning programme which has been in place since the start of lockdown. The programme is devised for each year group and covers all the academic subjects as well as IT, music, sport, drama and outdoor learning. Girls enjoy online assemblies every week, story book readings and meet up with their teachers online too.

Each week as part of the guided home learning we set a ‘Big Question’ – an independent topic theme for girls to research, explore and develop a piece of work. They can interpret the theme in any way they choose. Their work has been stunning with movies, posters, timelines, artwork with detailed research, personal reflections and illustrations which the girls have uploaded online for teachers to see.

Some of ‘big questions’ and themes we have posed to the girls include:

• “Does love really make the world go round?”
• “Have you ever thought how we learnt what is best to do when someone is ill or injured?”
• “Exploring Our Wonderful World!”
• ” Are animals reclaiming the world?”
• “Who was Charles Dickens”

Here’s some highlights of the wonderful work the girls have been creating and uploading online for teachers and everyone to see.
