Remote Learning – Week 2

#Team2B – thank you so much for your efforts last week in supporting our new way of learning.

I will continue to post information on this blog every Monday and add any updates throughout the week if required.

All learning tasks will be posted directly to the Class Team via your child’s group channels daily.

I believe everyone in the class is now set and up and running. If you still require support with this then please see the email that was sent to you last week by School Mail.

Your kind comments and photos have made me smile everyday.

Please understand that it is not the expectation for you to post photos everyday but if you are able to upload something when you can it would be great to see completed tasks from everyone.

I am missing interacting  with you all at school but hopefully we can continue to keep in touch through our class Team.

Happy Monday!

Update – 9:45am

Hi all – I have posted tasks today straight onto the channel dashboard on MS Teams.

There are NO documents to load and view or files to access. Hopefully this makes it easier for you all.

I thank you for your support during this time.

Miss M 🙂

Update 10:55am

Downloading the MS Team app directly to your desktop seems to be the way to go. Users are experiencing no lagging or difficulty viewing, saving and downloading files.

In the meantime, please find attached all of Tuesday’s Literacy and Numeracy group learning.

Tip – I am accessing MS Teams through the desktop app on my laptop directly.  I am not logging in via GLOW on my internet browser. If you have MS Office 365 on your home device it might be worth a try to see if you are able to access tasks directly from that. I have experienced no freezing or lagging using this method of access.

 

Good morning #Team2B! I am aware that some of you were having issues accessing the ‘Files’ tab on your group channels. This seems to be an issue during peak times 9-3pm as the app is being accessed by lots of users at once.

I am working to find a solution to us getting up and running properly so from today I will upload the work programme documents onto the main dashboard of your group channel for Literacy and Numeracy. Hopefully this will be easier to access, view, download, save to your device.

Look out for other posts of learning ideas from Mr Gordon or Mrs Ali too!

Please continue to check both this blog and the main dashboard of the MS Teams page everyday for updates.

In between working at home I will also be working in our Local Hub at OLM so I will try to respond to posts when I can.

Thank you all for your patience and understanding.

WEEK BEG. 23.03.20

Remote Learning – Week 1

Good morning to P2B and families!

In this post you will find more information about learning from home and tasks to complete Monday to Friday.

The information below can also be found in a document on the ‘Files’ tab on the class Microsoft Team.

I will use this blog weekly to sign post any important updates.

Routine of the Day

You can choose which order you complete your learning targets, but you should aim to finish them for 3:00pm just like you would if it was a day in class at school.

Please remember your snack break in the morning, and lunchtime break in the afternoon!

Remote Online Learning

At 9:00am everyday it might be an idea to log onto your Microsoft Teams using your GLOW account (gw16 17 18 or 19…) to have a look at what Literacy, Numeracy and Other learning tasks/online experiences I, Mr Gordon or Mrs Ali have asked you to complete or take part in.

On a Friday you may be set an assignment on your Team to assess mental maths or spelling skills. You will find the ‘Assignment’ tab at the top of the Teams page.

At 3:05pm I will have the link to our class tidy up music on the ‘YouTube’ tab at the top of the page. Play this so you can get your learning space tidy and ready for the next working day.

Remote Learning Resources

Last Thursday (19th) you were sent home with a home learning folder containing jotters, maths booklet, My Special Book and group reading texts.

Please compete written tasks neatly, in pencil and use the same jotter layout as in class.

Remember to:

  • write the long date in literacy jotter e.g. Monday 23rd March
  • write the short date in maths/IDL jotter e.g. 23.03.20
  • underline titles
  • take a new line for each question
  • remember 1 digit per box in maths jotters/miss 2 boxes between each question.

I’ll let you know on your Team which jotter to use. The where and when is up to you and your family!

I am sad that I don’t get to see your smiley faces everyday but look forward  to reading your comments and the fun we will have together!

Thank you families for your support with the above – the children will keep you right I am sure!

Please use the guidelines/help sheets for logging onto learning sites sent to you in a school email last week if needed.

….and everyday.

Stay safe, listen to the adults who are looking after you and be good! I will be watching!
