Hello Boys and Girls,
*Remember to let me know if you need any help with anything*
I have been made aware that some people are struggling to get into Microsoft Teams. Please see below a guide to help you get onto it.
If you are using a laptop of tablet
Go in via glow and search Teams
Set up Microsoft Teams on your computer or mobile device
- First, you’ll need to install the Teams app from the app store or Google Play store.
- If you are on iPhone or iPad, click here or search for “Teams” in the app store.
- If you are on Android, click here or search for “Teams” in the Google Play store.
Once the app is installed, the process is essentially the same for both devices.
- When you open the app you should see a sign in screen. Tap “Sign in.”
- In the email field, type Your school email address the one with @glow then tap “Sign in.”
- Next, you’ll see the UNC log in page. Log in with your Onyen and password.
- You should now get either a call, text, or app notification for 2-step verification. Follow the instructions to approve your sign in.
- Finally, the app may ask for permission to send notifications, access your microphone and camera, etc.
- Once you’ve granted or denied the various permissions, the app will be ready to use.
Hope this helps 🙂

Once we understand more about sound a big part of our learning will be researching how animals use sound to communicate. I felt this fitted in really well with our Rainforest topic and I think it will be a really interesting topic for us to learn about.
