Dear Parents/Guardians,

I hope you and your family had a lovely relaxing weekend.

This week your child has been set tasks for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday night. The accompanying worksheets have been sent home in the clear plastic zippy wallet. I would really appreciate if this wallet could be returned to school empty in your child’s school bag on Thursday along with your child’s reading book.

I have attached this week’s homework below:

Good Morning Primary 6 and Happy Friday!

I hope you are all well and are managing to adapt to home learning.

From Monday I am going to be uploading your work on to Microsoft Teams instead of using the blog. Before we switch I would like to make sure everyone is able to access it. I have a couple of jobs for you to do today to make sure you can find the correct materials.

I recently sent home your Glow log in details. If you cannot find them, please send me a message and I will send them directly to you.

1.Log on to Glow and send me an email with the words ‘home learning’. This will help me to check that everyone knows how to send an email.

2.Now log on to Glow and find the tile that says ‘teams’. You should have  been added to our class team. It is called ‘Primary 6- Miss McMullen’. When you have accessed our class team can you please click in to the files section. I have added a document named ‘tester message’ with today’s date. Can you please check that you are able to locate the file and open it to read the message.

If you are able to access the file then please let me know on an email. I hope you are all able to find it easily and we will be able to use Microsoft Teams next week.

If you are having trouble finding the materials then please let me know and I will assist you. You will find my email address below.
