Week Four

I hope everyone has had an enjoyable weekend. We are at the beginning of our fourth week of the term and I wanted to share our weekly learning. This week some assignments will be scheduled to cover several days and other assignments will be scheduled daily. Everything is outlined in the attached timetable. This week some of the Literacy tasks are combined with the Health and Wellbeing tasks. Please do what you can throughout the week and we understand that it is not always possible for you to complete every task that is assigned.

It was really lovely to see everyone on the video call on Thursday. It was fun having us all together but I am sure everyone will agree that smaller groups would work much better! I will organise the children in groups of six/seven and run 4 groups on Thursday. Each group call will last approximately 10 minutes. I will issue an assignment this week that will have a time for your group call. Once again all you will have to do is click on the link on classroom at your given time. I plan to have a video call every Thursday and I will mix the groups each week.

Some of the feedback from Ms MacDonald’s questionnaire indicated that parents would like assignments to be scheduled the day before. I will now schedule assignments to be issued at 5pm the day before the learning task is to be completed. I will still schedule my daily timetable for the children to be released at 9am as I want the leaning in the google classroom to reassemble a school day as much as possible.

Thank you for your continued support.
