Now that all of our systems for supporting learning are up and running it seems like a good time to tell you about the next part of the plan.
All children were given a pack of reading materials, jotters, textbooks and or workbooks, pencils, pens and the login details to support access to digital learning before the school closed. The most important element of this is your GLOW login as this gives each individual child access to their own Blog and Microsoft Teams.
Children will use Teams to communicate with their teacher and their classmates until the school reopens. Additional learning tasks will also be distributed using this method after the Easter fortnight. Information about how teams operates will be posted here to help those who are unfamiliar with it.
You should keep all of these things at home as work completed in the jotters will not be gathered in for the time being. Teachers will be able to give feedback on any work that is uploaded or completed digitally.
By the end of this week a teacher will have been in-touch with each family by phone to say hello and find out if we can help you in any way.
I hope you are excited about the Eggybition that Mrs Reffin is organising via the community facebook page and that you are starting to plan and build your entries. This year we would like to make it an event for the whole community and we would like to encourage entries from everyone who lives in the village young and old alike and also those children who live in the village but do not attend school here. Wishing you all the best of luck.
All children in P1-3 are entitled to a free school meal, many families are continuing to access this and if you would like to be included in the list send an email to berni.mcmillan@argyll-bute.gov.uk. Special thanks to Mrs Janette MacMillan and Mrs Donna Bannatyne for delivering the meals within the village. This service will continue throughout the fortnight of the Easter holidays. Food for Easter weekend will be delivered on the Thursday before Easter.
