Hi Parent/Carer

I hope you have all had a lovely weekend and are making the most of this lovely weather we have.  Last week I posted some information about Microsoft Teams on the blog , which contained training powerpoints and videos to help you access and become familiar with it.  I have added these resources to the parent information tab so that they are easy to find and access if you need them.

This week we are planning to start using teams.  Please don’t worry, we are still putting all of the learning files and resources on the Sharepoint too so that they can be accessed in both sites just in case you have difficulty in gaining access to one of them.

Teams will allows us to provide our pupils with a safe space to chat with their friends and teachers without their comments being seen by everyone using the Sharepoint.  The conversation feed in Sharepoint is always so busy and we are worried that we may miss a comment or question from one of our pupils.  We are hoping that by using Teams, all of our pupil comments will be in one space allocated to their class making this less likely to happen.  They can also upload pictures of their work in teams by adding it to the conversation feed and the teacher can then comment on it too.

Thank you for all of your support and cooperation in this matter.
