St Brendan’s – GLOW BLOG
Our GLOW BLOG has worked very successfully since we began using it since March 2020. Pupils parents /carers are all very familiar with this and know how to use it. We will continue using this as our main source of school information.. Each Monday your child’s class teacher will update the class page with an overview of the week’s homework in Literacy and Numeracy. Other activities like Health and Wellbeing, Art and Design etc may also be included on the class page. The class page will direct you to Seesaw P1-3 or Showbie P4-7 for hoeowrk activities.
SEESAW / SHOWBIE – This will be used by the class teacher to post activities in Literacy and Numeracy. Pupils will be able to submit their work and have feedback from the class teacher. Pupils/Parents requiring support with specific activities will be able to message the class teacher.
Please note homework will not begin until week beginning 29th August to allow us to set up the new classes on Seesaw and Showbie.
