The main area of learning for Interns is, of course, their work placements. Some Interns have the ability to continue to work from home and others do not. There are several different areas of learning on which we would normally focus during the Interns’ weekly study days. These are:

The Interns will also find lots of additional resources that are applicable to them under the Key Stage 5 tab as that is their Key Stage.

We have created a task bank of activities under each of these areas of the curriculum. We would suggest that if they are able to engage in work, they should try to cover a range of activities, from a range of areas of the curriculum over the course of a week.

If you have limited time, we suggest the Interns to focus on their Flick courses, employability and online courses under the ‘online courses tab’.

For those Interns who are working from home, work from the employer is the priority.

If you are in a position to record your child enjoying any learning activities, we would love to see them. If you are able to, please email photos/videos to your child’s class teacher. We will be able to look at them and talk to your child about them via email. This will go some way to helping maintain positive teacher-student relationship during this time of social isolation.

If you have any questions about our online learning platform or pastoral support please feel free to email me. (Claire.caddick@abbotsleaschool.co.uk)
