Dear Parent/Carer,
We are delighted to be able to confirm the arrangements for the forthcoming school closure days. For the purposes of online learning, we have split all pupils into the following stages: P1, P2/3, P4/5 and P6/7.
Learning each day will be delivered via a stage specific daily Thingink (tomorrow’s link at the end). The Thinglink contains all links, activities, recorded content, the joining codes for all live sessions and methods for communicating with staff for support if required.
Each stage will be able to participate in minimum of 2 live sessions each day . Each live session is specific to a stage and delivered by EAC staff. The live sessions are fully interactive and don’t need resources, just our pupils willing to participate and have fun. All live sessions will be hosted on our Vscene platform. The school will text each parent a pincode which is unique to their child’s stage and allows access to the live sessions, this pincode will be the same for each stages’ live session for the four days. The links are specific to the session and accessed via the daily Thinglink.
Within our Thinglinks are also a range of methods to access support. We have at least 2 members of staff at each live session and staff available to offer remote support related to Thinglinks throughout the day. Within the Thinglinks pupils can complete a support form which staff will monitor between 9am and 3pm each day and respond as quickly as they can, there is also a parental feedback form. We also have a monitored email address: eavirtualclassroom_support@eastayrshire.org.uk this can be used by pupils or parents as required, we’d also love to see work (if you are happy for this to be shared on social media please note this).
The Thinglinks for Wednesday 31st March are;
