We’ve all had another busy week so well done for getting online and getting the activities done. Your teachers are delighted with all of the school work you are sending to us by email. It has been really special reading emails that you have sent to us yourselves! Keep that up as it really does bring a smile to our faces! 😍
The change in format from week one home learning has been dramatic! Mrs Wright has send a survey out to ask for your views and feedback about remote learning. Please take the time to fill it out.
It’s important to note that we have provided a range of activities to suit as many learner’s needs and styles as we would in class. It is therefore important that you try and complete some of the suggested Learning Grid tasks to keep up to date with the new learning even if you only have time to focus on some of the literacy and numeracy suggestions. Some parents have asked about what and when to send completed work. We would say it is entirely up to you. If you want to pick favourite pieces of work to email once they are done or once the week’s activities are complete we will provide feedback when we can. The choice is up to you and whatever suits your family circumstances. We’re just delighted that you’re sending us work and notes to keep us up to date with how you’re getting on.
One of the newest things we were trying out was how to do a Live chat with everyone. For those of you trying to log in with Mrs Kidd we had an extra tricky job as VScene had updated their system the night before to improve problems they were having with the volume of calls being experienced and this led to some confusion with the links. We’ll try again next week! Well done to all the other classes who managed to get logged on and speak with their teacher. Sessions will be booked for this week and sent to you. (Hopefully no updates this week to upset the apple cart!)
Today is Burns Day and we would be delighted if you were able to send us a video of the poem you selected for the competition Mr Swan has organised. We need to find a class winner so send any entries to your class teacher in an email by itself so we can forward it straight to Mr Swan.
Family Fun with East Ayrshire Live.
The following links have been sent to us with an offer of Live activities organised by East Ayrshire Council. You can log into these via VScene. These activities are optional and should offer something a little different so you can enjoy time with your family as you have a break from your Learning Grid tasks.

Primary 2 staff would like to remind you that we are providing new teaching and learning content through Glow and where possible you should try to access this regularly to complete the assigned tasks. We can appreciate that the technology can be frustrating particularly when the video links struggle to open for you. The following advice has been given to us:
-
Plug your laptop directly into your internet router with a cable so it is not relying solely on the wifi connection.
-
When looking up the internet to search for Glow or complete Bug Club books – use Google Chrome as your search engine as it supports all the functions required.
-
Before needing to use a video, click on it, to allow it to download. We are having issues in school with this too, however, clicking on it three times and allowing it to buffer slightly then restarting has solved the problem for us more often than not.
-
If using VScene on a phone or tablet you will need to download the app.
Please hang on in there, we’re trying very hard to help to stay connected effectively!
