Library Resources

Do you know about the library service’s latest online resource – Press Reader. It gives you FREE access to over 7,000 worldwide magazines and newspapers. You can filter by country, category and language. There are 500 UK magazines and 171 UK newspapers including all the daily tabloids and broadsheets.

 

You can create an account and tailor your preferences but the more you use it, it will begin to tailor based on your reading. There are no restrictions on the number of times you can download titles, nor are there any restrictions on simultaneous downloads so you will always be able to download the title you want, when you want it.

 

After 30 days, Pressreader will ask you to sign in again for the next 30 days access. Back issues are available for 90 days, although some publishers place restrictions on this.

 

  • Download the Pressreader App for iOS, Android or window devices.
  • Select Sign-in with ‘Libraries & Groups’
  • Select East Renfrewshire Culture and Leisure from the drop down (it tends to appear first)
  • Enter your Library Card number
  • Happy downloading and browsing.

 

You can also opt to create an account and sign in using email and password, via facebook, google or twitter.  There is Browser access available at: www.pressreader.com but we would encourage use of the App.

Websites

Received these really useful websites from one of our Busby Parents.  The first gives some advice on discussing the current situation with your children and the second gives some advice regarding Health and Wellbeing.

 

Week 2

Good morning to the wider Busby Family…….. week 2 of Learning at Home starts today, and we cannot thank our Parents and carers enough for supporting the children in the various tasks set within the Google Classrooms.

Remember as well that these are just suggestions, tackle those that you are able to, whilst also ensuring that your families health ans wellbeing comes first.

Should you need to get hold of us, please use the email address below and a member of staff will get back as soon as possible.

A huge well done!

It has been fantastic seeing the amount of work being undertaken in the various Google Classrooms, and I know the staff have enjoyed interacting online!

Try your best to establish some routines within the day, and under no circumstances feel pressured into completing all the work set each day-  they are suggestions for what could be completed at home.

We are all in this together, so if there are any questions, leave them within the Google Classrooms and staff will answer asap.

It is at times like this that we really see how close the Busby Primary School Community is…… we are in this together!
