Happy New Year to all of Year 6! We hope you have all had an enjoyable Christmas break.
We were very much looking forward to seeing you all, but as you will now know, learning is going to continue online. You all have log in details for Google Classroom and Teams stuck into your home/school books, and you did a great job of checking this before we broke up for the holidays.
From 10:30 tomorrow, we would like you all to login to Google Classroom and join a Meet via the Meet link. This is found just below the class code. We would like all children to join where possible and will chase up those who haven’t connected by 11:15 via phone communication. This way we will be able to check issues with logins or devices. This will be the 6[8942203][2019] class rather than the JT/MC class, so we can reach the whole cohort.
We are planning to teach both literacy and maths each day, which will be a live session, but also recorded so children can access later if they need to share devices etc.
Work will be posted daily for these sessions on Google Classroom.
We are also expecting children to log in daily to read theory to ensure they continue to make progress in this most crucial area of learning. Each child also has access to Fiction Express (log in again in home/school book) and we will update regularly as to which book we will be reading together.
These live sessions, will start on Wednesday, so please logon to Read Theory/ Fiction Express and TTRS tomorrow.
If you need to communicate with us in year 6, please email us directly using newdale.year6team@taw.org.uk
Please find below a guide on how to use Google Classroom and Google Meet. The children have used Google software in class lots this year, but may need a hand when logging on for the first time to devices at home.
