Hello

Hi everyone, 

It has been a little while, so I thought I would come on and just check in with everyone and make sure we are all doing okay. I think we are getting the hang of life online and our GClassroom, slowly but surely. 

We are almost at the end of week 2 of our GClassroom and as a whole I have to say it has been successful. I just wanted to say thank you to all those who have been completing the learning that has been set but also there is no expectation for this to be done. I am very aware that we all have different circumstances at home and this may not be possible for everyone. But the activities are there for the children to complete or dip in here and there when they can. I am trying to make the activities as hands on as possible and active so that they are not spending large amounts of time at the computer. I have been enjoying seeing their Picasso style art today. 

I am not expecting every single child to complete all that I set and I am certainly not wanting any parents to feel pressured to do so. Equally if children are feeling stressed by any of the work, just don’t do it. We don’t need any additional stress right now at all.

I have attached the learning that I aim to cover with the children over the next 4 weeks, this is just a guide as to what you may expect. I will add in some other fun tasks as well that may not have link to these targets but something I know the children will enjoy.

On a final note, just across the week, it would be good for you to sit with your child (when you have a minute) and get them to show you our classroom. I have had to write a few comments about how we should be speaking in the classroom and remembering that if you don’t think it needs a comment then you don’t need to comment as each time a comment is made I get an email and it can be hard to decipher which ones need a response and which ones don’t. So I would appreciate a little reminder to your children about this as well. 

We are in the process of coming up with our GClassroom Charter which will cover what our online behaviour will look like. 

Thanks again,  if have any questions, please leave me a comment below and I will get back to you.
