๐ Launch of Google Classrooms
Guest User
Now that we have started to adjust to home learning (although far from ideal) we are always trying to make things easier for parents, children and the teachers. We strongly believe that by using Google Classrooms rather than just the class pages on the website we will definitely achieve that aim.
Instead of going to the website and clicking on the Class Page and then clicking an activity and attempting to complete it by printing or finding a piece of paper etc, the children can complete the task within their โvirtual classroomโ where the teacher has set the tasks. This is sent straight back to the teacher without needing to attach it to an email. The teacher can then send comments and mark the work so the children can see how they have done.
Children will be able to access their classroom through a web browser or through the free app.

Year 6 are already using their new Google Classroom and some of the children are in and completing the tasks set by Mrs. Casey. We now have children joining other classes and we are really pleased to get this new exciting system working and rolling it out across the school.
You should now have received an email with the login details for your child. Please check your emails, download the app or use a web browser and encourage your child to engage with the tasks set by the teachers.
IF YOU CANNOT FIND THE EMAIL THEN PLEASE GET IN TOUCH ASAP SO WE CAN GET YOU INTO THE CLASSROOM.
Thank you for your continued support.
Mr. Sharp
p.s. Donโt stop sending us other things the children are doing through the class pages and Twitter.

Sir Linkalot App

Sir Linkalot Resource on the class pages.
Wednesday 22nd April 2020
This is a free to use award-winning spelling app for common exception words that we are trialling for our children during the school closure period.
Sir Linkalot helps with the spelling of tricky common exception words, all the way from was, two and they up to accommodation, manoeuvre and even onomatopoeia! It is reported that the app is achieving incredible results, especially for those children who Eind spelling an issue and we would like to put that to the test.
Sir Linkalot has kindly giving all parents and schools free access to his resources during lockdown to enable children of all ages, 4 years old upwards, to have Sir Linkalot Time at home.
There will be a midweek 30 min show online, starting this Thursday (23rd April 2020) at 2 o'clock, on Sir Linkalot's Facebook page and Youtube channel.
Each word bundle has two forms of testing so the children can challenge themselves and other family members as they can use the code too.
It is reported that there is a small problem with android devices at the moment but once you have downloaded the Sir Linkalot app from the App Store all you have to do is tap on the log icon at the top right of the screen and enter the word 'Free' is both the username and password.
Your child(ren) should find a bundle of words that they feel comfortable with, tap on it and they can then start using the resources.
You can also view Sir Linkalot resources on a laptop or PC. Type in the browser, not a search engine, app.sirlinkalot.org and follow the log in instructions like you would do with the app.
Kind regards
Miss Caveney
