Tools for Learning: Sway

1 Comment


Hello Everyone,

You will have seen many people commenting in posts and speaking about Sway.
A few of the classes were shown Sway on final few days of school. That seems quite a long time ago now and it was a lot to remember. I have tried to make my first video tutorial to explain again. As teachers we are also learning new things and it’s very exciting.

Below you will find a Sway which takes you through all the steps in how to access Sway, Create your Sway and Share your Sway. It is split into four parts so that you can focus on the specific instruction you need support with.

There is lots of information but once you start to play around with the program it does become quite easy to follow.

Please DO NOT comment your Sway links on a blog post. The blog is public for everyone to get access to. Your sways should only be able to be accessed and edited by your teachers and yourself. If you make a new sway and want to share it with your teachers, please either send the link in an email or on seesaw.

You can also follow this link to Microsoft’s Youtube which offers multiple videos on Sway.

I hope this helps, please do not hesitate to comment any questions.

Hello Everyone 🙂

Hope you all had a nice weekend and are ready for another week of learning.

My blog post today is on our Story Starter task, again I am aware many of you may have already done this but I would encourage you to go through this powerpoint, you could maybe self assess your piece of writing or edit and redraft as this is also a very important skill within your writing that will create depth and progression 🙂

Remember you can send your stories to your individual teacher through their email/ send the link of sway via private message on seesaw.

Word of the Week (Hot)

Hello everyone.  I hope you all had a lovely weekend and are going to try out some more of the grid activities this week.

Before the school closed, P4 were keen to have a ‘Word of the Week’, challenge.  I thought some of the other classes might like to give it a go too, so here it is.

Click on the Sway to find out what to do.

I wonder if anyone in P6/5 can remember what this week’s word means?  🙂

Fischy Music: Monday assembly singalong.

2 Comments

At our assemblies we sing a lot of Fischy music songs. They sing songs about feelings and I think it would be great if you listened to them and sang along sometime.

Some of you might like to join in their Assemblies online each week. See if you recognise some songs . My favourites are: YOU ARE A STAR , WELCOME EVERYBODY, and KEEP THE BLUES AWAY. What’s yours ?

Click on the link and Sing out loud 🙂

Mr Reid’s Music Journey – Week 2

Good morning everyone!

I hope that you all had a lovely weekend with your families.

Here is a question to get you reflecting on your first week of Home Learning:

  • What has been the most challenging part of your Home Learning journey so far?

For me, it has been getting to grips with the new school blog. It has been challenging to keep up to date with comments and creating new posts to go up throughout the week. As the first week progressed, I became more comfortable with this new way of learning.

In my downtime, I have continued to practise the piano. Click on the Sway to see my progress over the last week! Do you know what song I am playing? If you’re not sure, ask someone in your family!
