Langloan Primary School

As a staff we are constantly striving to find the best way to communicate with and provide online learning resources for our pupils.  Going forward we feel that using both the pupil SharePoint and Microsoft Teams is going to be the most effective way for us to do this. I have manually added the Microsoft Teams tile to every pupils’ personal launchpad, this can be accessed by logging into Glow and clicking on the symbol that looks like a person on the left hand side.  You should then see the Teams tile.

I have found some helpful videos and I will provide the links to them below to assist you with this.  Ms Giblin and myself have also created some helpful step by step powerpoints to assist you too.  Our aim is to give you time this week to familiarise yourself with logging into Teams and to get used to helping your child access their class Team tile.  In here they will find a conversation feed, which allows them a safe space to chat to their friends and teacher(s) as well as upload pictures of their work.

I will also add all of the files on this post into the parent information tab at the top of the blog to allow you to access them easily.

If you have any questions about accessing Microsoft Teams then please email me and I will be happy to help.

Thanks for your patience and cooperation as we move forward with our online learning from home.

Please find this week’s activity grid for our nursery pupils.  I will also add this to the nursery tab at the top of the blog too so that you can access and find resources easily.

Early Level Activities

Hope everyone had a relaxing holiday. Congratulations to Mckenzy, the winner of both our Maths and Literacy Competitions before the break with Maisie runner up each time. New challenges have been set for the week ahead and please remember to ask for help if you need it to sign into Glow.

Good morning Everyone,

I hope you all had a lovely Easter break with your family and enjoyed some of this fabulous weather we have had. It feels very strange not to be returning to school after our break but keeping everyone safe is important. The staff still have work in your class folders on Sharepoint for you to access if you need it.  This work will be changed on Wednesday as normal.  I know that staff also have Sumdog competitions/ challenges running too.  Remember you can send us pictures of your work in Sharepoint.

It is another lovely day again today so remember to enjoy some time outside where it is safe to do so.

I have put the Sharepoint instructions in the parent tab area just incase anyone needs a refresher of how to access the area with your child(ren) work in it.  We have also set up a Microsoft TEAM for every class in the school.  We will be adding helpful videos and powerpoints to the blog and the parent tab this week to help you to become familiar with it before we try using it next week.  If you have any questions regarding the use of Teams then please email me and I will be happy to help- elainepaterson@langloan.n-lanark.sch.uk

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PARENTS/CARERS

Some of our Langloan staff are volunteering in the St Ambrose HUB this week.  This means that they have a teaching responsibility outwith their normal class and will be expected to focus on that.  Therefore you will notice that your child’s class teacher will not be online or engaging online on the day they are working in the HUB.  Other members of the Langloan team will be on hand to cover the classes and questions/ support will still be provided.

Have a great day everyone!

Please click the link below to read NLC’s latest update regarding HUB provision during the next two weeks of Easter break.

Please note that this provision is only for key workers children.

Good morning everyone,

Can you believe another week of learning at home is almost over.  Well done to all of our pupils and our parents who are trying so hard with their online learning.  We have loved looking at all of the pictures and posts we have received so far.

Today is the last day of online learning before we take a break for the Easter holidays.  There will be no new work uploaded over the next two weeks and online learning will resume again on the week beginning: 20th April.

So why not have some fun today and try out some of the activities below.  Try making the Easter cards by clicking the link or try out the home scavenger hunt.  We would love to see photos of your work and you can share them on the conversation feed in SharePoint.

Have fun today and have a very happy, safe and healthy Easter break from all of the Langloan staff.

Parents, Carers and Pupils

I have entered all classes into the national Sumdog contest, which starts tomorrow, Friday 3rd April and finishes on Thursday 9th April.  Let’s see if any of our pupils can make the top ten leaderboard or if our school can appear on it.

Remember- when you are answering questions, it is important to read them carefully and think before answering.  If you do this, your accuracy levels will improve.

Parents/Carers

The link below to the autism toolbox offers quite a lot of advice and practical support for families who have children with autism and language and communication difficulties.  I will also add the link into the Parent Information tab at the top of the blog.
