Tapestry observation 

The focus this week is Computing. Practice logging into Purple Mash and explore the resources and games. This week, children will be logging into Purple Mash in school, so please encourage them to be independent when logging in, so they know how to do it.

You can also send us any moments that you feel are significant in your child’s learning or want to share with your child’s class teachers. Click the links below to find out how to add observations from different devices.
