Welcome to Term 3

Dear parent/ carer,

Welcome pack to Term 3.

We sent an email out on Friday with information about the types of home learning we will be providing for your child: https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/wl/puscpsnews/information-about-home-learning-starting-11th-jan/

We have blogged information about how P4-7 can access Teams at home: https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/wl/puscpsnews/advice-on-accessing-glow-for-p4-7/

Also how P4-7 can access the video calls with their teacher: https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/wl/puscpsnews/p4-7-instructions-for-pupil-video-lessons/

Staff will blog a timetable for your child on a Monday. Frequently checking the blog is a good way of keeping in touch with the latest news, etc. You can get notifications of blog posts through following us on Twitter: @PUSCPS and on Facebook.

For families who require some resources for home learning; learning packs with paper, pencils, glue, etc. will be available to collect from outside the office doors on Tuesdays 9:00-10:00am and Thursdays 1:30-2:30pm. Please remember to wear a mask, maintain physical distancing and sanitise hands when collecting the packs. 

We know home learning can be a difficult time for families and we recognise everyone is in very different situations. Our staff have worked hard last week (and will continue to) to plan progression in learning for your child. However, please only do what you can with your child/ children at a time that suits you, which best meets the need of your child and family circumstances.

If your child requires any support with their learning they can ask their teacher on Teams or Seesaw. If you require any support, please do not hesitate to contact us. Our school office is open 8:30 – 3:15pm and 8:30-12:30pm on a Friday or you can email us on wlpuscps@westlothian.org.uk

Kind regards,

Information About Home Learning Starting 11th Jan

Dear Parent/Carer,

 

As directed by the Scottish Government remote learning will begin from Monday 11th January, the following arrangements are in place to ensure continuity of learning for your child during this time.

 

P1-P3 will receive learning experiences shared through Seesaw, which all children have access to with their log in via the Seesaw App.

 

P4-P7 will use Microsoft 0365 Teams, which can be accessed through their Glow account.  Information for parents on how their child uses Teams is available on the following link: bit.ly/wlglowguide. There is also some advice here on how children can access Glow on different devices: https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/wl/puscpsnews/advice-on-accessing-glow-for-p4-7/

 

It is expected that your child accesses Seesaw/Teams daily to engage with the planned teaching and learning experiences. Each platform allows your child to participate in live and/or recorded lessons, engage in learner conversation, share their learning, receive feedback and support where required.

 

To support parents/carers to manage home learning and ensure a consistent approach across the school here are specific details of what to expect:

 

Learning in P1-3 will consist of:

Monday – Thursday:

  • One literacy lesson per day
  • One numeracy lesson, including number talks per day
  • One health and wellbeing or interdisciplinary learning lesson per day
  • Over the course of the week there will be 3 recorded lessons.
  • Sumdog challenge
  • Children who have access to IDL should continue to use it

Friday:

  • One literacy lesson
  • One numeracy lesson, including number talks
  • One together time activity

 

 

Learning in P4-7 will consist of:

 

Monday – Thursday:

  • One literacy lesson per day
  • One numeracy lesson, including number talks per day
  • One health and wellbeing or interdisciplinary learning lesson per day
  • Each day one of these lessons will be introduced via a live Teams call (if the class teacher is in school teaching that day there will not be a live call)
  • Sumdog challenge
  • Children who have access to IDL should continue to use it

 

Friday:

  • One literacy lesson
  • One numeracy lesson
  • One together time activity

 

  • A timetable for the week will be posted on the school blog on a Monday, to support families to plan their week. This will include the times of the video calls: https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/wl/puscpsnews/
  • The class teacher will provide advice to the children on how to post their learning in the correct place.

 

For families who require some resources for home learning; learning packs with paper, pencils, glue, etc. will be available to collect from outside the office doors on Tuesdays 9:00-10:00am and Thursdays 1:30-2:30pm. Please remember to wear a mask, maintain physical distancing and sanitise hands when collecting the packs.

 

Remote learning can be very difficult for families so please don’t hesitate to contact the school if you have any questions or require further information:

wlpuscps@westlothian.org.uk or 01506 280995.

 

Our school team will continue to provide all available support to your child and family where we can during this challenging period.

 

Yours sincerely,

Miss Burton

Head Teacher
