I can't believe that we are at the beginning of Term 2! I am so thankful to have such beautiful supportive parents such as yourselves during the past month. It has certainly been a roller coaster of emotions but we are so looking forward to seeing the children back at school or in an online capacity.
I hope the holidays was a time to reconnect with your families and spend time doing things we wouldn't normally do. I know my dog Pav has enjoyed all the extra walks he has been getting!
Information about Term 2
As we head back into the structure of Term 2, we aim to provide a safe place for children to come to school.
- All of out tasks, communication and videos will be available through Seesaw. We will release daily announcements (through the inbox function 💬). This will be our daily check in as we can see who has viewed them. Please let us know if you are having issues accessing this.
- The light bulb 💡 activity section of Seesaw is where you will find your child's learning activities and our teaching videos to accompany them.
- We have printed out every activity ready to use for the first two weeks to help families without printers and to reduce work load for parents.
- We have made many videos to support the children's learning. As we cannot interact live with children via seesaw (and cannot use Zoom/Skype due to CEWA privacy regulations), we have recorded teaching videos for nearly every task to help alleviate the support required from parents. This should give you a break for at least 10 mins each task - yay! Please be aware that your child can watch the video as many times as they like to help them with their understanding.
- We have provided you with an empty daily schedule as our timetable that we have given may not fit in with your families needs. Please use this to change and adapt any tasks within the home learning grid for the week.
- If your child is attending school on any day (in weeks 1 and 2) it is very important that they bring to school ALL the home learning pack resources including worksheets and any books handed out. We suggest you put these in their homework folder for ease of transport or organisation.
- All work will be viewed and marked with feedback via the Seesaw app and we will continue to monitor activities completed at the end of each week.
- Mathletics, Reading Eggs and Study Ladder continue to be additional learning platforms that we have utilised to teach our weekly learning concepts. These results will be checked by us at the end of each week.
- Our previous blog post has links on how to access and use all these online platforms.
- Your child's named pack is available to be collected from TODAY until Wednesday morning outside of Mrs. King's classroom (near the ECC doors). They include:
- My Friend Jesus (Religion book)
- Home learning Scrap book
- Desk plate with handwriting and 120 grid
- Home Learning Writing book
- Handwriting book
- Weekly Learning sequence overview (Week 1 and 2)
- All activity sheets referred to in Seesaw Activities
Please feel free to contact us via email during this time or you can ring the school during school hours.
We will be putting the Learning Sequence (for week 1) on the blog AND in the announcements section in Seesaw for your reference - in addition to the hard copy which is included in your child's learning pack.
If you have any questions, please let us know.
Take care and stay safe,
Miss Prowse
