Currently the Virtual Classrooms for S1-S3 pupils have been updated fortnightly, although there has been two weeks learning content in each room.

There will also be content in the rooms aimed at the upper stages of the Primary (Second level) which may be appropriate for some learners. There is also a guide for parents and all young people have access to their guidance in the Virtual Classroom itself.
The classes are split into colours for secondary pupils, these are:
Magenta: S1
Lilac S2

The Digital School will also share the curricular contents each week on Twitter (@nldigitalschool) which can be retweeted and we would ask you to share on your own social media platforms.
