For an update on learning at home using Google Classroom, please read this short parent update by clicking here.

Please take time to enjoy our May 2020 newsletter by clicking here. 

If you are having difficulty getting into google classroom on your laptop, phone, computer or tablet it may be due to an existing google profile already set up! This is easy to fix - just follow the guidelines attached (apologies in advance for the typo!) 

Creating/Adding a new Gogle Profile 

PS - You should never need the class code - if you are being asked for this, this would be the most likely reason!

A very simple guide to uploading work on Google Classroom, whether a photo, file or google slide. Just click here!

From Monday 20th April, we will be moving to Google Classroom for all learning and teaching. Check out the attached guide to see how easy this is to use. Take some time this week to get logged in and explore!

We expect all learners to engage with this and complete the set tasks each week. If you have any difficulties, whether with glow logins or access to ICT, then please email the school office.

A huge shout out to all the teachers who have given up time during their Spring Break to ensure the lessons and activities are good to go from Monday.

Learning from Home - Google Classroom - Parent and Pupil Guide

Here's a wee competition for Spring Break! Challenge yourself and everyone in your household to 'guess the baby'! There are 31 altogether, with a bonus round at the end. We'll be looking for your best guesses on Monday 20th April - just post them on your community facebook page or email them into us! Happy guessing!

Guess the Baby Competition

We have created guidance for our parents/carers across the school and nursery in relation to the support you can access while staying at home. This rationale will continue to be developed over the coming weeks. In the meantime, please access our infograph by clicking here.

All pupils entitled to a free school meal can collect a packed lunch from our main entrance, within the times set out on Friday. A poll has been set up on the Parent/Carer facebook page to take orders and give more information. If you cannot do this, you should email the office with your choice - ham, cheese or tuna sandwich (will also come with a yogurt and cake). Parents of these pupils can also order a lunch.

Parents who require support with childcare and fall into the category 1 service, or elements of category 2 should read the following information very carefully.

You can request this service if you meet the criteria listed below, BUT ONLY WHERE YOU HAVE NO OTHER CHILDCARE PROVISION. If you have a non-key worker at home, they are expected to care for your children, even if this means they cannot attend their work.

Category 1 - Health and Care workers DIRECTLY SUPPORTING COVID 19 RESPONSE, and associated staff. Health and care workers supporting life threatening emergency work, as well as critical primary and community care provision; energy workers (small numbers identified as top priority already); staff providing childcare/learning for other category 1 staff.

Category 2 - police, fire and rescue, ambulance, prison service.

Children should not attend if they have underlying health conditions or are currently self-isolating.

For those parents who were contacted by us on Friday to inform them they met the criteria for sending children to school tomorrow and Tuesday, here are a few things to note:

You should arrive at 9am

All children will be asked to wash hands on arrival

All snacks/lunches will be provided - lunch will be ordered on arrival (there is no need to do the poll posted earlier)

There will be a forest schools session both afternoons, so dress accordingly (there is NO requirement for school uniform!)

The day finishes at 3pm - please collect from the front door

No adult will be permitted access to the school - we will meet your child at the front door and hand them back to you from here

You need bring nothing from home - we have it all here!

We will be maximising social distancing in ALL activities throughout the day

PLEASE NOTE, WE WILL BE SUPERVISING THE FRONT DOOR AND WILL NOT PERMIT ANY CHILD WHO DOES NOT MEET THE CRITERIA SET OUT ABOVE. THIS IS NOT SCHOOL - THIS IS EMERGENCY CHILDCARE. THE SAFEST OPTION AT THIS STAGE IS TO HAVE YOUR CHILDREN AT HOME WITH YOU OR YOUR PARTNER. 

IF YOU FEEL YOU DO NOW MEET THE CRITERIA, PLEASE EMAIL THE SCHOOL OFFICE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE -
