Tapestry is a secure online Learning Journal. A learning journal is a record of each child’s learning and shows snap shots of children’s achievements and progress in relation to the EYFS. Not every activity they do will be recorded as a rough guide there should be a new entry on each week. Some times more sometimes less! Tapestry emails are being sent out this week. If you haven’t already done so please email your address and the name of your child.
