From the Head of Primary 10.10.2020
In the words of one of the greatest 70’s bands ‘…here we go again…’ This time however we have had more time to plan, prepare and be able to act on previous feedback. Although there were some technical issues during the first day (and with assembly on Friday) parents, students and staff have reported that there has been a very positive start to the latest round of remote learning. The daily live lessons have got off to an excellent start and I have really enjoyed popping up on the screen and joining some of the lessons. Live lessons are a great opportunity for the children to not only interact with their teacher but with each other which I know is something that was missed by many last time. The morning pre-recorded video (some Oscar worthy) have been replaced with a live Zoom/Meet registration session as we try our best to maintain business as usual.
During assembly on Friday I quickly found out that only 100 people can join at a time and I am really sorry that some children missed out. I am now working on this and hope that we are good to go for next week. I have also changed my settings which should solve the problem of children not being able to enter. Here is a round up if you couldn’t access Friday’s assembly.

Even if you watched it during assembly, have another look and see if you can carry out a random act of kindness for someone that you care about.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.
