Hi all, if you are wanting to down load the Teams app you will be asked to enter an email address. Please use your Glow email address as this will link directly to the Primary 5 page.

The address should be the username followed by @glow.sch.uk

e.g. gw09gordonstuart2@glow.sch.uk

I hope this helps but if you have any further questions then please just let me know.

 

Mr Gordon.

Hello everyone, I hope that you all had a great weekend. From this week on wards Primary 5 will be using their Class Teams page to display information.

To use it please log on to Glow and then left click on the Teams app that appears on the pupil or school page. I will work with the class this week on how to do this.

Also, the first time a pupil logs on they will be asked to choose a password. To make sure a strong password is used pupils should:

• choose a word/words they will remember
• be able to spell each word
• use a mixture of upper & lower case letters
• use numbers if they want
• use punctuation if they want

e.g. Red Football? or Orange Tig3r!

 

I will work with the class on this during the week but if you have any questions then please feel free to ask me.

Thank you for your help,

Mr Gordon

I will put more information here when I receive it but I can let you know that PE days this year will be Wednesday & Thursday. For PE please bring the following:

• suitable outdoor trainers
• black/navy blue shorts, leggings or jogging bottoms
• white top
• a waterproof top

The class will be taking part in PE lessons outdoors as much as possible, even in wet conditions so please make sure that the proper PE kit is brought to school each Wednesday and Thursday.

 

Thank you for your help,

Mr Gordon

Hello everyone.

An update from Mrs Caroll:

Text Book Recall (Monday 15 June to Monday 22 June – excluding weekends – 8am to 4pm.

Reminder to drop off all text books which were borrowed by pupils in March lockdown.  Drop off point is at the Main Entrance (8am to 4pm).  We would love to have these books back so that they can be sanitised for August and available for all learners.

Children’s Class Work/Outdoor Clothing and other Personal Items to be Collected by Parents/Carers

 Monday 22 June to Wednesday 24 June (9am to 3pm).  Each child’s classwork (Primary One to Primary 7) will be available during the above times. Primary 7 pupils will collect their class work on their goodbye visit days.  Please note, that to keep everyone safe that social distancing must be followed by all and there is no access to the building or playground. Thank you.

Kind regards

Hello everyone.

I hope you are all doing well.

The first event is scheduled to take place on Friday 5^th June from 10.00am – 10.45am.

These events are free and will focus on the interactive and visual methods to help parents support their children with numeracy and maths at home. The sessions are intended for parents with children currently working at First or Second Level within CfE.

Mr C

Welcome back all!

I hope you and your family are well.

Today’s work has been posted on the classroom and they should be able to tackle themselves.

Not all the tasks require an attachment to be uploaded, but if you could remind your child to press “Hand In” or “Submit” beside the task, even if it’s done in a jotter, that would be very helpful.

Any issues with the tasks can be addressed in the class streams. If you need to ask a question about the tasks – that is the best way to contact me – I will answer asap.

Also, a quick reminder of the fact that the Twinkl educational site is free to access during the Scottish school closures. There is a range of work available to download and print across the curriculum and stages if you are looking for some extra work for your child.

Thanks everyone.

Mr C

Good morning.

Today’s work has been posted on the classroom. I hope you have had a chance to work with your child at some point last week – if not, they have a lot of tasks that they are more than able to tackle themselves.

Not all the tasks require an attachment to be uploaded, but if you could remind your child to press “Hand In” or “Submit” beside the task, it helps me keep a track of who is doing what and allows me to easily look at any work that has been attached. Thank you.

Any issues with the tasks can be addressed in the class streams. If you need to ask a question about the tasks – that is the best way to contact me – I will answer asap.

Here is a link to the Twinkl educational site. I have also posted the link on the Classroom. It has opened up the paid subscription section of the site for free during the Scottish school closures.

This is in no way an endorsement of Twinkl  – please feel free to do as much or as little as you want. (or none at all)

Remember Joe Wick’s PE sessions daily at 9am. There are many excellent Youtubers doing great educational content too, as I’m sure you will have seen on social media.

Thanks everyone.

Mr C

Happy Friday!

Today’s work has been posted on the classroom. I really enjoyed reading all the great personal accounts of their week. Thank you for supporting their writing yesterday. Again, please don’t stress about completing work if your current home situation does not allow it.

It seems like the children are becoming more confident using the Google classroom but for clarity: You can access it through the tile on Glow. It is compatible with Windows, Chromebooks, iOS and Android devices. Everyone has working passwords and login details – they should have a note of them in their diary. There are still a few individuals who have not yet joined the classes. Just press “Accept” and please don’t stress if you find a lot of overdue work. Next week is a new week!

Any issues with the tasks can be addressed in the class streams. If you need to ask a question about the tasks – that is the best way to contact me – I will answer asap.

I am 5 for 5 with Joe Wick’s PE sessions daily at 9am!  Please remember the Glasgow Science Centre at Home at 10am is available this week too. There are many excellent Youtubers doing great educational content too, as I’m sure you will have seen on social media.

Week 1 nearly done!

Thanks again for all your great work at this tricky time.

Mr C

Hello and good morning to you.

Today’s work on the classroom will be a writing piece and a Sumdog competition. There is also a chance to catch up on any tasks that are due Thursday or Friday. Please don’t stress about completing any work – I would rather you settle into a mutually agreeable routine. Things can always be handed in late.

Hopefully the Google Classroom space is becoming a bit more familiar now. Just to recap: You can access it through the tile on Glow. It is compatible with Windows, Chromebooks, iOS and Android devices. Everyone has working passwords and login details – they should have a note of them in their diary. There are still a few individuals who have not yet joined the classes. Just press “Accept”.

Any issues with the tasks can be addressed in the class streams. If you need to ask a question about the tasks – that is the best way to contact me – I will answer asap.

I hope you have been managing to get out for your one daily exercise or at least have been doing Joe Wick’s PE sessions daily at 9am. There is also the  Glasgow Science Centre at Home at 10am which have proved popular.

Have a great day.

Mr C

Good morning all. I trust this finds you safe and well.

I hope your child has established a good balance of schoolwork/freeplay. Hopefully you have seen that your child can do most of the work independently – please encourage them to do so. They can use their jotters and technology or any materials they have at home – feel free to send/not send any pictures of the things they have been up to.

By now, most people have accessed our Google Classroom space. Remember you can access it through the tile on Glow. It is compatible with Windows, Chromebooks, iOS and Android devices. Everyone has working passwords and login details – they should have a note of them in their diary. I have resent invitations to a few individuals who had not yet joined the classes. Just press “Accept”.

Any issues with the tasks can be addressed in the class streams. Please encourage your child to think if they already know the answer to any questions they may ask “Can I colour it in?” is a classic easy answer! Remember to press “hand in” on each task to show me at a glance it has been completed.

I hope you have been enjoying Joe Wick’s PE sessions daily at 9am and  Glasgow Science Centre at Home at 10am.

Thanks for your continued support.

Mr C
