Friday 24th January

As you know schools are closed due to the red weather warning.  Work has been posted on English, Spanish and French channels within MS Teams for all classes who were timetabled to be with us this morning.  Should anyone have difficulty accessing these materials they should tag their class teacher, on Teams, putting @ in front of their name or email their teacher.

If possible young people should work on Word within their Glow and then share the document with their teacher.

If any young person wishes to undertake additional tasks there are materials available on our Teams pages or they can use North Lanarkshire’s virtual school or BBC Bitesize.

For Senior Phases students, there are materials available on Scholar, Achieve and also using the West OS tile via their Glow launchpad.  Here they will find very helpful videos.  There is also a plethora of materials available on MS Teams including text books and SQA past papers.

Stay safe and take care.

Mrs Burton
