Home Learning
Home learning gives children a chance to rehearse what they have been learning in school and to share it with others at home. It helps build confidence, independence, and good learning habits. It isalso a way for families to be involved in their child’s progress and celebrate achievements together.
Below is an overview of the types of home learning for each year group:

Tapestry
You can access Tapestry by downloading the free app or by using their website: https://tapestryjournal.com/s/geoffrey-field-infant-school
Parent/carer accounts were set up when your child joined our school. However, if you would like additional relative accounts set up, for example so that both parents have their own log in, please contact admin@geoffreyfieldinfant.reading.sch.uk Please also use this email if you require any help with remembering your log in details.
All pupils in Nursery and Reception have a Tapestry profile. 
This is where home learning videos, documents and links are posted. We also ask that parents use Tapestry to post their child's home learning so that staff can see the learning and provide specific feedback. Parents can post photos or videos of what their child has done, or can post comments (notes) to explain what their child did or said.
This video shows you how to add an observation using the Tapestry website. Using the app is very similar, just click on the blue + in the top right corner of your screen.
