Getting ready for Term 2

I hope you and your family are doing ok. This is just a reminder of a few things to help your child be set up for learning to start Wednesday 15 April.


  • Your child's Holiday Reading Log is in their Google Drive Reading folder - they should be typing on the doc as they read. This will be handed in via Google Classroom after the holidays (see the tutorial below). Please encourage your child to read and complete their log, it encourages good habits. 
  • Our school day will not be structured as it is when we are at school, there will be tasks that your child needs to complete, some to hand in, some to just do and some to share with others. 
  • Please help your child manage their time on their devices, in the three days before the holidays some students were on a lot, and most of their time was simply in the class chat room. It was new so maybe they were just excited and I fully understand that they may be missing their friends. 
  • When we have class or group chats I expect students to behave and follow our school Golden rules. If a student is not being respectful then I will contact you for support in helping them. Our class was really good during the few video sessions we did have. I do however think that smaller group sessions will be better.
  • School accounts are for learning only. If you allow your child to be online playing games, watching videos or doing other things then they need to use a different Google account on their Chromebooks. 
  • Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns, I am happy to arrange online meetings should your child need some extra support. I did this with a few students before the holidays and it worked really well.

I will be in touch before school starts next Wednesday, just to let parents know a brief outline of the learning students can take part in during the week.

P.S. Ask your child to show you the class cooking/baking photos in our shared Google photos album, there are some great chefs amongst us.
