We continue with a hybrid approach to Home Learning, with paper-based literacy activities and digital numeracy/maths activities.

Home Learning activity sheets will outline a block of activities over a 5 or 6 week period. Additional activities can be found on the Class Team.

Home learning will be set on a Monday for return on a Thursday and class follow up will take place on a Friday.

We continue to thank all parents for joining in the learning at home. It remains an important partnership.

P1-P3 Home Learning should take a maximum of 30 minutes.

P4-P7 Home Learning should take a maximum of 45 minutes.

Thank you to parents for your feedback last term. We also consulted staff and pupils. Based on this feedback, we will continue to take a hybrid approach to Home Learning with some digital activities and some paper-based activities across literacy and numeracy/maths.

Please note we have simplified the Home Learning activity sheet, but will continue to plan in blocks. Additional activities can be found on the Class Team.

Home learning will be set on a Monday for return on a Thursday and class follow up will take place on a Friday.

We were delighted with the response from parents to our Home Learning questionnaire sent out in Term 2. The responses, together with pupil voice and teacher  feedback, have resulted in a new, ‘hybrid’ approach to Home Learning. Please click on the link for details: Home Learning 2022

All classes are using Teams to engage in home learning. All pupils can access Teams through their Glow email account or through the Teams app, using their Glow username.

Please contact the school  office (INArdgowan@glowscotland.onmicrosoft.com) or Mrs Cowan (inwhh950@glow.sch.uk) if there are any issues accessing Teams.

September 2020

P2-P7 are are using Teams for home learning, in similar fashion to our lockdown home learning. There are literacy, numeracy and STEAM grids for pupils to select activities to complete. Finished work can be uploaded into the Home Learning channel in each class Team. If work is completed in the home learning jotter, please photograph and upload to Teams or pupils can bring in their jotters to share their work. Please note, no home learning will be collected in by the class teacher. We look forward to seeing loads of amazing work!

P1 will be issuing home learning very soon!

HOME LEARNING CONSULTATION

Dear parents,

 

This year we have updated our Home Learning Policy and we are using the same format for home learning across all classes. We aim to engage parents in the learning their children are doing in class and home learning activities are an extension of this.

We will continue to review our homework policy and appreciate any feedback regarding home learning activities.
