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

  1. 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.

  2. When you open the app you should see a sign in screen. Tap “Sign in.”Sign in
  3. In the email field, type Your school email address the one with @glow then tap “Sign in.”Sign in
  4. Next, you’ll see the UNC log in page. Log in with your Onyen and password.Sign in
  5. You should now get either a call, text, or app notification for 2-step verification. Follow the instructions to approve your sign in.Sign in
  6. Finally, the app may ask for permission to send notifications, access your microphone and camera, etc.Sign in
  7. Once you’ve granted or denied the various permissions, the app will be ready to use.

Hope this helps 🙂

Topic – The Rainforest

Remember to check out the grid of activities for you to do on the rainforest. So head over and check it out. 🙂

Miss Taylor is looking forward to reading your research tasks on the Rainforest. When we return to school we will spend time sharing our learning on the Rainforest

In Term 4 we will be working on a Science topic learning about sound. As an introduction to this new topic use the log on details below to get on to the Tig Tag website.
 (USERNAME: gw09farromorag PASSWORD: Tigtag2018)
Click on the what is sound link below to open up activities.

What is Sound?  <—- click

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.
