Getting there!

By Mr Pickering7th January 2021

Good morning Key Stage 1!

I think we have come a long way in just 2 days and it was great to see so many new and different faces getting logged in to the classrooms. Please remember that you need to get logged on to the live lessons (using the links below) to make your lessons and your learning make even more sense. Don’t worry if you can’t, the lessons are quite straight forward to follow.

Please read the links carefully to make sure you click the right one at the right time. Here is the long list of links for today:

 

 

Have a great day and we look forward to seeing more of your amazing learning.

Celebration of Childrens Home Learning

By Joshua Meade6th January 2021

Good evening all, (lengthy post alert)

Day 2 (what a long week today has been), but I am missing you all dearly! I’d just like to say I apologise for the few teething problems we are all having regarding accessing online. l, like us all are very new to this different way of learning and each day we are learning. I am thinking of every single one of you and your families, and over the next couple of days we will have definitely ironed out all the creases. I can reassure you we are doing everything we can at school (and home) to ensure it will all be as accessible and smooth as possible. Any immediate questions you may have feel free to email me directly

[email protected]

Just a reminder and example for your log-ins to Google Classroom should be:

Username: (first name initial and surname) jmeade

Password: (unless changed by yourself) password

If you have older siblings in school with the same first initial and surname it would be (jmeade2)

We will double check all of these tomorrow and inform you if you are still unable to login.

CELEBRATION TIME

Thank you to all those children who have been checking in and accessing your home learning! You are doing amazing. For those who haven’t… you are also doing fab – but we miss you and we would like to see you online so you can see your friends and ask us questions, and so we can support with your remote learning.

Check out the awesome home learning our superstars have done today – I praise and shout out too:

Aliza – for your days of the week paper chain and song; completing your expedition entry ticket.

Shout Out!

By Mrs Graves6th January 2021

Well done everyone that logged on today, either at home or in school.

There have been a few technology issues but stick with it as I’m sure we will be able to sort it.

There is a button on the front page of the school website called Parent Help Centre that has step by step guides on how to log on and complete different activities in Google classroom.  Please have a look at this if you are having difficulties logging on etc

We are doing a practical task tomorrow afternoon, so if you are working from home, plain flour and salt will be useful ( however, you could also use playdoh.

I will share the Google Meet code for 4G class crew at 8:50, feel free to make a start on the Do Now On this day task on Google Classroom. Miss Lotysz, Miss Topliss and Miss Lister will do the same for their class.

I wanted to share the work Eva has completed today! Well done for completing the tasks and adding photographs of your work.

I look forward to seeing you tomorrow.

Mrs Graves

Reminder of Protocols when working online

6th January 2021Miss Topliss

Good evening everyone,

Thank you so much to the children who have joined us online today and have been working in school too.

Please can we just remind you of appropriate protocols when working online, especially in the chat down the side of the video call and the streams on Google Classrooms.

These ‘chats’ are places for children and adults to talk about learning so that you can let us know if you need support or need to alert us to something. Please remember that everyone can see this. Please do not use the chat to talk to one specific child unless it is about learning and you are coaching/supporting a peer. (For example, chatting to one child making arrangements to talk later should not be done in a school chat).

We understand children will want, and need, to communicate with their friends. They can do this by coming on during Crew and sharing feelings and thoughts in circle as we would in school. Children can also communicate with their friends in private, but please can this not be done through school communication.

Finally, children should not enter the video chats before the arranged session time when a teacher is not present. The times for live learning are outlined each day on the blog and Google Classrooms. Please do not log on a long time ahead of lessons and use this as a way to chat.

I hope you understand that we are asking for this to keep all children safe and using the technology appropriately. It is so important we keep the children as safe online as we do in school.

Thank you for your understanding.
