Dear parent / carer,

Remote learning starting on Tuesday 5th January 2021

From Tuesday 5th January pupils in our primary school will be learning remotely. Teachers will upload tasks onto Seesaw at 9am each morning from Tuesday 5th January to Friday 8th January. Tasks will include Numeracy, Literacy and World Around Us tasks. On this occasion we will not be sending home written work packs as it is only 4 days remote learning. All learning material will be sent remotely to your child. At present, we expect all pupils to return to school on Monday 11th January for face-to-face teaching. 


MS Teams meet ups for pupils in Primary 5, Primary 6 and Primary 7

Pupils in Primary 5, Primary 6 and Primary 7 will have an opportunity to meet up online using MS Teams on Wednesday 6th January with their teacher and their classmates. Please find the help sheet for parents below about how to use MS Teams. Click on the link to access the help sheet: Accessing Teams at Home for Live Meet ups - Parent Help Sheet.pdf

School staff will help key workers' children who are in school to login to the MS Team meet ups with their class. 

Primary 5 will have a meet up on Wednesday 6th January from 10am to 10.30am.

Primary 6 will have a meet up on Wednesday 6th January from 11.30am to 12noon.

Primary 7 will have a meet up on Wednesday 6th January from 1.30pm to 2.00pm.

If are first trailing MS Teams meet ups with the Key Stage 2 classes and if this strategy helps pupils we will extend its use to our younger pupils.


Login details for remote learning

I am in the process of sending all parents a reminder of their child's login details for remote learning. This should be completed before the end of today.

At present I am aware of a problem with MyOn, so unfortunately MyOn is unavailable at this time. 


If you require any further assistance please contact myself on the school telephone number or your child's class teacher via email. 

Yours faithfully,
