1 hour per week. After consultation with the parent and only if it is appropriate for their learner. If it has been agreed upon, then after each class the children will receive homework. Sometimes it will be to carry on the work that we have started independently and sometimes it will be a bespoke piece. If they choose to do this, then they can photograph and upload their work to the classroom and I will be more than happy to provide them with feedback at the start of the next session.Assessment
The children will be assessed throughout the course and given immediate feedback. Adults will receive written communication at the end of each lesson about the learner's strengths and areas for improvement.Class Experience

Supply List
If children are able to type, the lessons work best using Google Docs, so that I can see what they are writing and edit it with them in live time. Please make sure that you have an account set up and logged on for the lesson. If children cannot or do not want to type we can easily use pen and paper, but please make sure that it is a dark pen that I will be able to see on camera. Some printed resources may be required, but I will give due notice of these.
