Seesaw is a digital learning journal that we will begin to use at Sacred Heart. Each child will have their own account accessed via their individual QR code or text code. Children can show their work by adding it to their journal using photos, videos, drawings, text, PDFs, and links. Teachers are able to set activities and respond to pupil work online. Families can also connect to their child's account where they can access their journal, receive updates on the learning taking place in school and communicate with the class teacher.

Please see the 'Information for Parents' section on the school website for video tutorials on using Seesaw.
