TeachKloud
We use an online learning journal called TeachKloud for observations, nappy changing, lunch record and accident record. This will be set up, with parent/carer consent, when your child first starts with us. Parents/carers will be able to view their child’s learning journal at any time from a pc/phone/tablet.
Observations are made up of photos, videos, notes, EYFS statements and the characteristics of effective learning (COEL). Parents are also able to add observations/photos to their child’s learning journal so that experiences from home can be shared at Pre school.
