Microsoft Teams

 

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.

Online learning

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.

 

Primary 2/3’s Reflective Friday 18th December 2020.

Welcome to Primary 2/3’s final reflective Friday post for 2020.

Well done to all the boys and girls in Primary 2/3 on a successful Term 1 back at school.

The children have had a very different December than usual but as always have risen to the challenges admirably.

The children have managed to achieve excellent progress in Literacy and Numeracy and their ICT skills are developing very well. Today they managed to write and type their very own Elf Riddles inspired by the characters from our novel, The Christmassaurus. This week also saw the end of our Primary 2/3 games which the children have been competing in over the last few weeks. Teams Mario and Yoshi worked together to acquire points for their team. The children enjoyed this very much and learned lots of skills including how to be a supportive and encouraging team member. In the end there was only 1 point in it which saw both teams being awarded a Gold Certificate and medal.

The children have been learning about Advent and preparing for the birth of Jesus, we have been thinking of others and trying to be kind. The children have also demonstrated their artistic and creative talents with all their Christmas arts and crafts.

This month we wish to share our best wishes and love to you all over the holidays, thanking you once again for all your support this term. May you all have a safe, happy and healthy break. I look forward to all the exciting learning opportunities that await us in January.

Merry Christmas from Mrs Preston and Primary 2/3.
