Primary 6 Home Learning Information

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, particularly if you were absent last week.

• Weekly timetable – a weekly timetable will become available at 8:00am 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. You can also share any other learning opportunities you may be doing at home like cooking for example.
• 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.
• 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 time – 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. These can be posted on the stream and your teacher may tell you what hour of the day they will be live on the stream.
• 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. If you wish you can write the answers on Google Classroom. Reading and comprehension tasks can be completed on Google docs. 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. 
• If you wish you can post answers to any other curricular areas in the Google Doc titled “other curricular typed answers or screenshots.” 
• 20 questions will be posted daily on Sumdog and these questions will be open for 1 week. If you use 123 maths please do 15 minutes a day.
• For pupils who use Nessy Spelling or Toe-by-Toe please do 20 minutes a day. 
• Please remember than any photographs or videos posted of your teacher, by your teacher, must remain on Google Classroom and not shared on any other devices or platforms to maintain privacy regulations. We can’t wait to read any responses you have to our videos! 
• Could everyone please complete the “About Me” assignment as a priority. 

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,

Mr Atkinson and Miss Estlick
