What is Tapestry? • Tapestry is an online Learning Journal to securely record photos, videos, observations and comments in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum. • It allows us to work with parents and carers to view work from school and build up a record of your child's experiences during their time with us. • It also enables parents and carers to share pictures and videos with school in order to inform our planning and assessments of children.
