Remote learning and Supervision of Children Information 11th-15th January 2021

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Thank you for all your support and patience at this time.  I am so delighted to see the wonderful work being completed at home on our Seesaw platform.  You are all doing so well.  Please remember to work at your own pace and in a way which suits your own family circumstances.  There is no deadline set for work to be submitted.

Remote Learning 11th-15th January and Supervision:

Teachers will also be assisting in the supervision of vulnerable and key worker children and preparing their supervised learning packs, therefore will not be available on Seesaw for communication 1 day a week.  This day should be used for consolidation and revision, or as a time to 'catch-up' on essential learning of number facts/ key words etc. 

Please see below the allocated day which your class teacher will not be available online on Seesaw.

Thank you for all your requests for supervision for your children.  The application process is now closed for the week beginning 11th January.  Unless I have contacted you regarding your application specifically, your child has been allocated a place.  A new request form will be released on Wednesday 13th January for supervision week beginning Monday 18th January.  I would like to stress to only consider supervision in school for your child if no other options are available.  The safest thing we can do is stay at home.  

Children being supervised in school will have access to the same work which is being shared by the class teacher on seesaw if it is appropriate.  Not all activities shared on Seesaw can be completed in school.

Children being supervised in school should wear their full school uniform.  They will require a healthy break and a packed lunch.  School dinners will not be available for any children. Children should be dropped off at school at 9am, if they are in P1 or P2, they should be collected at 2pm, P3-P7 should be collected at 3pm.  Nursery children should be collected at the normal time.

Entry: Primary 1 & 2 should enter the school via the normal foundation stage door.  Primary 3 & 4 should enter via the side door beside Mrs Harley's classroom.  Primary 6 & 7 should enter via their normal door near the top playground.

Do not send your child to school if they have any of the following symptoms: a new and continuous cough, a raised temperature or loss of taste/smell.  Children should not come to school if anyone within their household is symptomatic or awaiting a Covid-19 test or results.  Please wear a mask and ensure social distancing in and around the school gates.

Kind Regards,

Mrs S. McCafferty
