Dear Parent/Guardian

 

In years 3 and 4 we are very excited to be introducing a new web-based learning service and have recently guided your child on how to access this at home.

 

It is called Taecanet Springboard and is closely linked to the school’s curriculum and schemes of work and allows your child to work through individual learning journeys. 

 

The key benefits of using Taecanet Springboard are that:-

 

·        All the websites are safe and secure.

·        Children can access the website anytime/anywhere.

·        Children can work at their own pace and it encourages ownership and self-motivation.

·        It is easy to set up and access.

·        Most importantly it is “fun” and reinforces/supports learning in school.

 

Your child’s class teacher will allocate relevant units and also a completion date.  In year 3 and 4, we have allocated 2 science units to begin with.

 

Our current unit is, ‘Solids/Liquids and how they will be separated’ and our next unit will be ‘Habitats’.  Both of these units have a completion date of Monday 14th April 2008 so we hope your child will be able to access some, if not all!, of these journeys during the Easter holidays.

 

To access these units, your child will need to log onto the internet then follow these stages:-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Log onto – www.taecanet.com

 

Click onto – ‘Students’ – log in at the top right hand corner of the home page

 

Your child’s user name is – Christian name.Surname

(Christian name – followed by dot –  surname, e.g. “joe.bloggs”)

 

 

It is not case sensitive so it will accept names with or without capital letters at the beginning.

 

 

Then the password is – password

 

Select the unit and click on ‘start learning’

 

If your child would like the questions read out to them then click on the  ►

Icon at the right hand corner of the page.

 

Then click on the circle depending on which aspect of the unit is to be completed.

 

 

We hope your child enjoys this new ‘web-based’ learning and that you are able to support us in encouraging your child to access it all at home.  If you have any difficulties accessing the website or further questions/queries please do not hesitate to contact one of us.

 

Yours sincerely
