QE Flourish During Distance Learning
QE Flourish helps children stay connected, explore their interests and enjoy school life during distance learning. Every club runs from 3:30pm to 4:15pm, with practical activity and time away from the screen, and no more than 25 children per meeting.
Participation is optional. Friday is family time, away from screens.
Choosing Clubs
| Year group | Weekly offer |
|---|---|
| Nursery and FS | Flourish continues on the normal designated days |
| Years 1 to 3 | One or two clubs a week. Week A: Monday and Wednesday. Week B: Tuesday and Thursday |
| Years 4 to 8 | Up to one club each day, Monday to Thursday |
School squads continue each week, with safe coaching and activities for home; existing squad eligibility applies. Squad, choir and instrumental sessions count as your child’s club for that day, and within the Years 1 to 3 limit of two sessions a week.
Booking Once for the Week
- Book in the morning. Between 8:00am and 11:00am on the first morning, complete one Microsoft Form per child, shared on Seesaw and Firefly, choosing the whole week’s clubs.
- Wait for confirmation. We check year groups, limits and spaces, then send confirmed places and meeting invitations. Submitting the Form requests a place; it does not confirm one.
- Join at 3:30pm on club days, using your child’s school account and the confirmed meeting.
There is no daily rebooking. If a choice is full, we will offer another suitable club, and children who missed a choice get priority next time. Each sibling needs a separate response. If plans change, contact the phase lead rather than submitting a second Form.
What Happens in a Session
| Time | Activity |
|---|---|
| 3:30pm to 3:35pm | Welcome and register |
| 3:35pm to 3:50pm | A short explanation and guided activity |
| 3:50pm to 4:10pm | A practical task, with time away from the screen |
| 4:10pm to 4:15pm | Share and finish; the teacher closes the call |
For Years 1 to 3, the teacher may end the live call slightly earlier and set an offline activity after 4pm. No child needs to watch the screen continuously.
