Primary 2 Weekly Learning (18th Jan)
Good morning everyone,
I hope you all managed to have a nice weekend. You will find all of this week’s activities in SeeSaw. You can get to today’s learning by clicking on the weekly learning activity I have pinned to the top. Then choose the day and click on the first activity.
Please remember there is no pressure to complete all tasks. Just do what you can.
Both Sumdog and Education City are available to use in addition to all of the activities in SeeSaw. You should have your password for these at home. There are also daily PE sessions with Joe Wicks at 9 am on You Tube.
Thank you to all the parents and carers for your support.
Take care.

Remote Learning
Good morning.
We would like to say a huge thank you to all our parents and carers for your support with remote learning this week. The response and engagement levels of our wonderful children have been excellent. We recognise that there are challenges, so, please do not hesitate to contact the school for advice and support.
Have a lovely weekend,
Mrs Mooney
Online Safety
Good afternoon, We hope you are all well.
Just to remind all parents that Seesaw and TEAMS are not appropriate channels for communication between the school and parents. In order for them to remain safe zones for our pupils, they are child only. All communication with the school should be done through e-mail at, wlstjosephwhit-ps@westlothian.org.uk or phone on, 01501 740452, where we will be happy to assist.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support, at this time.

Seesaw – Class App at home.
Primary 1 to Primary 3 has started to use Seesaw in school. This is a new App which we will be using in school and at home.
Your child will bring home a QR code which should be used to log them in – please keep it safe. Try the QR code to get used to using it. Ask your child to use the draw tools to draw a picture or write their name or some words. Upload this to their Journal (Click on the green circle with the tick). As everyone becomes more familiar with the platform you will find more “Activities” set by the teacher.
Below is a link to a video that shows you how to log in and use some of the basic functions. I hope you find this helpful.

Introducing www.myon.co.uk
myON is essentially an online library which has some additional tools. It will be the main source of reading material for home and school use.
myON is from Renaissance Learning, the same company that provides Accelerated Reader, a program that has been used in school for a number of years. myON has some integration with Accelerated Reader and Star Reading which is used to help select books at an appropriate level.
Please take some time to look at the Parent Information Sheet and the introductory video. Please take some time to connect Star Reader Scores.
It would also be useful to download the App and set up access on as many devices as possible to ensure easy access.
During the next week or two, it would be really helpful if everyone becomes familiar with the books that are available. Begin to read some books and start to add to the “list” of books you would like to read.
Try the audio function with some books and try just reading others and see your time spent reading add up. Take some quizzes!
Integrate myON into your daily routine!
