Langloan Primary School

Thursday 4th of March is World Book Day.  Unfortunately  we cannot celebrate the same way we usually would, however we would like to invite children, who are currently attending school, to come dressed in casual clothes.  If your child is learning at home there are a range of live events taking place for them to take part in.  These can be accessed via the World Book Day website, click of the link for more information  https://www.worldbookday.com/2020/09/world-book-day-2021-announcements/

The safety of our school community continues to be a priority as the current Lockdown restrictions are slowly eased.  In Langloan we continue to follow guidance from the Scottish Government to minimise the risk of COVID-19 to your child and all staff.  The measures we have in place are consistently reviewed and adapted to meet the challenges of an ever changing situation.  Despite our best efforts, there will be occasions when children will have to self-isolate.

NL Virtual School is the primary online learning platform which will be available in the event of following:

• If members of your child’s class (bubble) are sent home to self-isolate due to a positive COVID-19 case.
• If your child has to self-isolate if you or an immediate family member has COVID-19.

NL Virtual School is an interactive classroom which provides your child with learning and activities for Literacy, Numeracy, STEM and Health & Wellbeing.  Instructions on how to access this resource have been uploaded to the TEAMS page of each class.  This will be supplemented with specific tasks e.g. weekly spelling words, which again will be shared on the class TEAMS page.  Your child will also have access to Sumdog Challenges to allow them to practise skills and build their fluency.

Where individual pupils or groups of pupils need to isolate but the remainder of the peer group are in school, the remote education provided will differ from that of the lockdown learning you have become familiar with. This is due to the challenges of teaching pupils both at home and in school.  Your child’s class teacher will be teaching and will therefore not be as readily available throughout the school day as before.  Every effort will be made to respond to queries directed through the School Office and Teams as quickly as possible.

Your continued support is appreciated.

Dear Parent

Please find a letter from Jason Leitch the National Clinical Director for Scotland regarding the return to school and nursery here.

We would appreciate it if parents could continue to wait outside the school, wearing masks.  Nursery parents can continue to drop off and collect children from the Nursery door.

Please do not hesitate to contact the school if you require further information.

Yours sincerely,
