📺 Live Sessions

Hello families

As mentioned in the recent newsletter and remote learning plan, we have had requests from families and children about hosting live sessions.So we have been very busy experimenting with how they can be used efficiently and safely. Up to this point, I have hosted two assemblies with children in school and at home, and although there were a few teething problems, it was great to see the children together on the screen. We do really miss them.

I will be hosting assemblies on Mondays and Fridays, and teachers now have the option to host weekly live sessions in class, which could be anything from a story, quiz, show and tell, songs etc. These sessions will allow the children to connect with each other regularly, and remind them that they are very important members of our school, wherever they are learning.

As you know, I am very conscious of the potential privacy, confidentiality and safeguarding issues around live sessions, so we have prepared a policy for teachers, children and families (see below). We have also made a poster for the children on what is expected. These rules have to be followed without exception, so that we protect the children and staff.

There will be a few technical issues to begin with, but please get in touch with the teachers through Google Classroom or email if you need any help. We are all learning on this one.

Thank you again for your suggestions and support.

Mr Sharp
