Dear parents and carers,
We have organised a timetable of live teaching sessions via Google Meet for each class. These will differ by year group according to the needs of the classes and what is age appropriate.
We have increased the number of Meet sessions based on parent feedback, and will be offering taught sessions online. For older pupils, it would be useful to have paper and pen or pencil as some tasks will be completed live this way. The children will have opportunities to seek support from their teachers either within the live Meet, or by posting questions in Google Classroom.
We are also mindful that it may not be possible for all families to access all live online sessions. While we would love as many children as possible to access as many live sessions as possible, if the timings don’t all suit your family we completely understand. All work will still be available to be completed via Google Classroom at a time that suits, whether the children can access the live session or not. All tasks will still be posted daily on the school website also.
Please see below for live check in times by year group.
