We’ve had lots of new learning as well as lots of fun setting up various features of our iPads over the last couple of days.  The children have now created and named folders so that they can save their work in a structured way.   We have created a P4 team in Microsoft Teams and we are showing the children how this works and how to navigate around it.  P4a had a go at logging in today and everyone successfully accessed this weeks spellings.  Maybe they can give you a demo. We have also introduced the children to the Self Service function (which is essentially an SBC version of the App Store).  The children may install any app from there and occasionally they will be asked to install a specific one for a class based task.  We ask that this is done at home as it can take a very long time if there are 26 iPads all trying to install it at the same during the lesson. There will be teething problems as we go but this is just demonstrating how good at problem solving and how resilient the children are.

If you could ensure all iPads are charged daily and that you frequently check for updates – iOS 15.0 is coming very soon, if it’s not already available.  (You find this in Settings—–General——Software Updates)

This week we are continuing with place value and we are beginning to explore symmetry.  There are a couple of links on the Supporting Learning at Home tab so you can play some related games at home.
