Please click on this timetable to see the days and times that Teams meetings have been organised by your child’s class teachers. Further help with how to download and access Teams will follow.

A number of our children have successfully joined their class Team and have been in contact with their class teacher and classmates through Microsoft Teams. We are planning to use Teams to arrange video calls so that the children can have face to face check ins with their teacher. We will be in contact with details of days and times for this.

If you haven’t already done so, please try to download the Microsoft Teams app from the App Store (free of charge). This can be downloaded onto a laptop, tablet or phone.

Once you have downloaded the app, your child will need to enter their Glow username and password. Please note that they will need to add @glow.sch.uk to the end of their username e.g. gw20smithdavid@glow.sch.uk

If you need help with downloading the app or logging in please contact the school and we can help with this.

Good morning,

During the week beginning 11th January 2021, we will return to  online learning.  We will use the same approach as we used previously for remote learning.

Please follow these steps to access work for your child/children:

1. Search for ‘Holy Family Glow’ on your laptop, tablet or phone.

1. Click on the link to the school website.

1. Click on the tab for your child’s class.

1. Scroll down to the relevant date and click here to see a weekly update from your child’s class teacher. This will include home learning activities for your child.

Please note that if accessing the website from a phone or tablet, the class menus may appear down the side of your screen rather than across the top as they do on a laptop.

Our P4-7 children should also be able to stay in contact with their class teacher and class mates through e-mail and Microsoft Teams. Both can be accessed by first logging into their Glow account.

Welcome back to primary 2/3 and our first Reflective Friday post. 

I hope that all the children are delighted to be back with their school family after lockdown. The boys and girls have settled in really well and have been working hard to adjust to the one way system and the play and learning zones. We have had a huge focus on Health and Wellbeing and the children have learned all about keeping themselves and others safe through increased hand washing, sanitizing and social distancing.   

This will be a very busy term for Primary 2/3 but the children have shown they are ready and willing to learn. In Math’s and Numeracy we have been focusing on developing their mental agility, counting forwards and backwards in 1’s,2’s,5’s and 10’s.  They have been exploring up to 3 digit numbers and will go on to apply this to addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. I hope you will continue to support your children by encouraging and supporting them with homework tasks which will always reinforce their learning in class. 

In Literacy the pupils will continue to develop their skills in reading, writing, listening and talking, and are progressing well through the core programmes. These last few weeks we have been revising and consolidating phonemes and spelling taught to date. To further support your child at home, please encourage them to read aloud every night and to discuss what they are reading as this will be beneficial to their understanding of the book. Please also practise weekly taught phonemes and spelling words as this will really help your child in their class work. Children have been issued with a homework jotter and should take opportunities to develop handwriting skills by completing any written tasks here. 

We take every opportunity to get outdoors, and participate in the Daily Mile. In addition to this the children have been developing their communication skills and physical fitness through participation in a variety of outdoor and indoor activities and really enjoy this.

This week would have been our annual Health week in school so since we are all at home, we thought you might like to try out some activities at home. Below is a pack that has been created for our school for staying active at home.

In addition to these activities we are also suggesting that you try to create your own garden sports day!! If you take part in this please upload and share some pictures with us on twitter or on glow. Since sport’s day is normally all about house points, we have decided that anyone who uploads a picture of taking part in any garden sports this week, earns 50 points for their house!!

If you can’s do a full garden sports day, try one of the activities from the home pack below or show us you taking part in your daily exercise. 50 points for any pictures of these activities too. Maybe you have made a delicious healthy snack? Why not share that with us too on twitter or glow and that could also earn you 50 points for your house!!
