Hello Primary 4/5, 👋🏼

15 of you have been taking part in our sumdog challenge and I can see that most of you are using your Glow account to access work. Well done! 😁👍🏻 If anyone is having difficulty finding any tasks, or if you have forgotten how to log on to sumdog/ IDL/epic books, please let me know!

Miss Mackenzie

Teachers are working hard to upload all documents by today. Can we please ask that you do not alter or modify the original documents.  The tasks you see in the folder are for all of the pupils in the class.  If you want your child(ren) to write on the worksheets provided, you can save a copy or download a copy for them to work on.  The originals created by the teachers are view only documents.

Thanks for your understanding with this matter,

Mrs Paterson

MESSAGE FOR CHILDREN ATTENDING HUB PROVISION

Dear All

Can I ask that the children who have registered to attend the St Ambrose HUB school please take their home learning packs to work on.  Staffing is done on a rota basis and will be available to assist your child will anything they require help with.  I know that a lot of our tasks are online but it might be an idea to print some activities off for your child to take with them.

Thanks

Mrs Paterson

A message for category 1/2/3 Key Workers of Nursery Children

NLC have asked me to advise that all category I, 2 and 3 parents from today, can access nursery places at one of the Family Learning Centres if alternative childcare arrangements cannot be put in place. Can I please ask you to notify me if you intend to use this provision by emailing me in advance.  You cannot turn up without contacting me first. Thanks

Nursery Parents
If you and your spouse/ partner meet the criteria for key workers and you require care for a nursery child where no other alternative arrangements can be made, your child can attend a Family Learning Centre. In order for us to make the necessary arrangements for your child please email me at elainepaterson@langloan.n-lanark.sch.uk as a matter of urgency if you require this provision.

A guide for using IDL at home for Distance Learning

Below is some advice for supporting your child when using IDL at home. If you have any other questions then please email customerservice@idlsgroup.com or call 01524 580665 and we will be happy to help. I will also be hosting a short 20 minute training session on Tuesday 31^st March at 10am to chat through a few things that may help. We want your child to enjoy distance learning through IDL so we are always here to help and support in any way we can.

In the meantime here are our Top Tips

1. When using an iPad please make sure that you have the updated app IDL2MOBILE that is 0.3

2. Please make sure that when accessing through an internet server that you only use GOOGLE CHROME. This is the only one that will work. If you don’t have Chrome already it takes 2 minutes to download.

3. If the student is struggling to move to the next lesson in Literacy please check that the blue assistance button on the right hand side of the screen is turned OFF in order to move forward.

4. You need to enable the microphone on your device to enable the student to complete the record/playback section of the Literacy programme. This will be under the settings of the device.

5. We recommend using IDL in 20-30 minute slots so that students don’t get distracted.

6. If the child has access to headphones then this will be great for concentration on the task (and peace and quiet for the adults!)….if not, just ensure the sound is on.

7. Please go to our website idlsgroup.com and under the ‘Resources’ section you will find useful documents and videos that go through how IDL works.

8. Don’t worry about testing. This is something that a teacher can do with the student when they return to school, as testing twice per year is still adequate to monitor progress.

9. Please do contact us if you need any guidance or advice, we are happy and able to help during this time and want your child to carry on learning and progressing through IDL.

10. Take Good Care and Good Luck!
