Our teaching staff and Senior Leadership Team actively monitor the class use of Microsoft Teams and it has came to our attention that in some cases in recent days, class Teams pages have displayed some undesirable behaviours.
We encourage our parents/carers to monitor this closely too.
Thank you for your continued support.
We are aware that many of our families do not have access to a printer. Our teaching staff try hard to not be heavily reliant on worksheets in the daily tasks they set, but sometimes a worksheet perfectly sums up the aim of the lesson.

P1-2/3 children will find instructions about how to access VScene on their class blogs. Please note that a PIN number to enable secure access to VScene will be sent by text message to these families.
We previously sent out parent and pupil guidance around online learning. Please find it attached again below for your reference.

Thank you for your continued support as we navigate this new territory together!
We are aware that some families may require additional resources to support their child whilst Remote Learning. Therefore this week we will have a member of staff in the reception area of the school on:
Tuesday 26th and Thursday 28th January between 10am and 12pm.
If you require any resources please drop by. We will have stationary, paper and jotters to help your child record their learning during the coming weeks.
Please come to the main entrance of the school, ensuring you adhere to the socially distanced markers present, wear a face covering and sanitise upon entering the reception area.
