In our Reception Class, we use Tapestry to share photographs and observations of our Early Years children with their parents and carers. We enjoy finding out about significant learning that happens at home, which parents are able to share with us through the Tapestry Website and apps. Children are able to reflect on their own learning at school, using their own login. For more information about tapestry, please click here.
