A reminder that the home learning choice boards are for families to do as much or as little depending on your family circumstances. We would request that your child tries to complete their weekly reading.

As part of our Scottish focus for learning and Burns Day on 25th January the children are participating in a Poetry Recital Competition and have taken home a range of Scottish Poems. The children should choose one poem to learn. The children should learn the poem by heart and use the following success criteria. All children should learn their poem however this is no expectation that they need to recite it in front of the clan if they feel uncomfortable. They also have the option to film their recital, do it to the teacher privately, or as a group. As you will see below, some clans have the same option of poem – this is as these classes are working within the same Curriculum for Excellence level and allows for differentiation. In clan qualifying recitals will take place on Friday 21st January and finals will take place on Friday 28th January (these will be filmed for your viewing).

We would request that if children have access to a phone or tablet they download the following free apps to support with learning through glow:
Downloading Microsoft Apps and Logging in for the First Time
The instructions on the link below will show you how to log into the apps.
To download Microsoft Office 2016 from the Glow Application Library, search for the ‘Office 365’ tile, shown here. It can be found on the National (Scotland) Launch Pad or you can add it to your own Launch Pad. Further help on the App Library is available here.
To download the software to a PC or Mac, click on the Office 365 tile and follow the instructions. More information from Microsoft is available here.
If you are downloading to an iPad or iPhone, you will need to download the apps from the App Store then log in using your Glow username. More information from Microsoft is available here.
It is also possible to download the apps from within Microsoft O365. To do so, click on the Office 365 link in the top left of your screen. This will take you to the O365 home page. Click on ‘Install Office 2016’ and follow the instructions.
Entering your username
When logging in, you will be asked to enter your username – this is your Glow username plus the domain e.g. gw15examplejames@glow.sch.uk. You will then be transferred to the Glow login screen.
Once you have entered your login details here, your registration will be complete. The Glow username will only activate the software for as long as that account is active in Glow.
