Our Classroom

Tapestry

Tapestry is a system we use to share children's learning with parents/carers in Pre-School and Reception.  We take photos of children learning and link them to statements from a document called Development Matters.  We will also use Tapestry to inform parents/carers of the next steps in their child's learning.

You can download the app called 'Tapestry Online Learning Journal' or access it via your internet browser at https://tapestry.info  and create a parent/carer account.

Families are able to upload pictures of their child at home, at the park, in the woods or at the beach, at family celebrations, using technology, singing, dancing or playing imaginatively, as well as their independent work such as drawings, writing and number work. 

Parents/carers will receive an activation email to create their login details.

If you need any help or assistance logging in or have any questions about Tapestry please contact Miss Barnes.
