Dear Parents and Carers

Staff have been working very hard to create digital learning plans for this current lockdown. These plans have now been published on the relevant Teams (accessible through GLOW) and on See Saw. If you cannot find this information, your child’s teacher will be able to direct you to the appropriate team. You should find a rationale to explain how each bubble will work and a timetable. You may also find a code of conduct. Other classes have a planned a lesson about this and will create it through the lesson.

During this period the following class bubbles have been created:

Nursery

P1

P2 and P3

P4 and P5

P6

P7

Teachers will be working in teams to deliver face to face teaching to those in attendance and the universal online offer to all at home. Every effort has been made to ensure that the offer to those at school and those at home is as equitable as possible.

Whilst we understand how challenging this will be for families, especially for those with younger children who are working from home, you are encouraged to try and engage with the learning as much as possible. New learning is planned, so to miss out completely, may put your child at a disadvantage in the future.

We also appreciated that families are sharing devices and that siblings may not be able to go online at the same time. The digital learning offer is therefore a mix of “live” events and teaching and learning aids that can be accessed at a time of your choosing. Timetables will show which teachers are online and when they are available.

There is also a Team for Digital Support. This will be managed by Miss Finnie who will do her very best to support our families with technical or digital issues. Please post any issues you have on this Team. If it is a general matter Miss Finnie will post an answer on the Team page or GLOW email any personal information back.

Best of luck!

Mrs Matthews
