Welcome to our Remote Learning Hub which will be used to help support with learning in the event of individual children being required to self-isolate; whole class bubbles being collapsed; or full/partial school closures as a result of COVID-19.
Google Classroom will be our primary tool for teachers to release work to the children and to communicate with them directly. This should make the learning offer much more personal and interactive between home and school; however, parents would still have a responsibility to manage and oversee the work that the children are completing.
The Remote Learning Hub will have links and supporting tools for Google Classroom; links to the class pages and class email addresses; and useful links to external websites that can be accessed for interactive games and resources to support learning. This includes PhonicsPlay, Purple Mash and SumDog.
This will remain available on the school website throughout 2020/21.
In the event of the collapse of class bubbles, we will reinstate the class email addresses that had been used previously. The children will be able to message the teachers directly using Google Classroom, but parents may wish to contact the teachers directly themselves if they have any concerns.
Teachers will not be able to push out notifications to all parents in each year group, but they will be able to reply to any questions you may have. Please do not share work via email as this can now be done on Google Classroom. This is different to earlier in the year.
The class email addresses are as follows:
receptionclass@collinghamschool.org
Should you have any technical issues with websites or missing logins/passwords then we have set up a new email address for you to send these queries which will be monitored by Mr Duffy.
