Primary 7 Home Learning Information – Updated (26/03/20)

Hi everyone,

This is an overview of what we are expecting over the next week and information on some of the things that are on Google Classroom. Take your time and read through this.

• Daily check-in – this is an opportunity for you to interact with your peers and class teacher. There will be different questions daily and remember you can respond to your peers too.
• Daily question and answer sheet – this is a chance for you to ask any questions about your learning/tasks for the day. Remember the class teacher may not see it right away but if you know the answer please help your peers.
• Weekly timetable – a weekly timetable will become available at 9:00am on Monday morning. This will allow you to see what will be expected throughout the week. There is flexibility around this timetable so don’t feel like you need to follow it exactly, particularly the afternoon tasks – you can swap these around. We recommend that you try to do some tasks daily, where possible.
• Home learning log – each student has a Google Slide/PowerPoint. This is for you to take pictures/write reflections on the tasks you are doing, particularly for the other curricular areas (Expressive Arts, Science, etc). This will document your learning for assigned tasks and you can also share any other learning opportunities you may be doing at home like cooking for example. Dating each slide will be helpful in the long run to let us see when tasks have been completed. Please also remember that you can upload anything you are doing at home to your home learning log, for example if you have played a board game with a family member take a photo and post it!
• Written work – Numeracy & Mathematics tasks can be completed in the jotter given to you in your home learning pack or you can use your maths homework jotter. Reading tasks from your booklet can be completed in your booklet. Any other reading tasks can be completed in your jotter you were given in your home learning pack. Writing can be done on Google docs and will be assigned to you. Any other tasks can be photographed and out on to your ‘Home Learning Log’.

UPDATE – 26/03/20

• Weekly Reflection – this is a blank timetable where you can record your self-assessment and comments. This is a self-assessment on your tasks throughout the week. Please record any marks/scores you have gotten. You can complete this daily. Please hand it on Friday when you have completed it. This will allow the teachers to reflect on the week and make any adjustments.
• Wraparound Spelling – Spelling for the week should be completed on the attached Google Doc, you can choose to submit it each day and then request it back or just submit at the end of the week. Remember to hand it in when you are finished with Friday’s task. Please check the example of a completed wraparound spelling document to check if you are unsure. If you are finding anything tricky, please ask any questions in the Daily Question & Answer Sheet.
• Answers – every Friday at 10:00am we will out up a PowerPoint of the answers for the Literacy and Numeracy booklet tasks. Please self-mark or ask an adult to mark them for you. You can record your self-assessment on your weekly reflection. You can also add any images to your Home Learning Log if you wish.
• Handing in work – please hand in your work when you are finished for example when you have completed your writing or your weekly reflection. Please hand in your work when you have updated it so that we can check what you have updated (for example like your home learning log). The teacher can return it to you, but you can also un-submit it also.

 

 

I hope you find this information useful and I will continue to update it where appropriate. Remember this is new for us all, even the teachers! We will continue to work together and help each other along the way.

 

Thank you,

Miss Kelly & Mrs Norman
