Distance Learning/Covid-19

Dear Parents/Guardians,

As you will be aware, the school has been using the distance learning app called Seesaw Class App.  Those who have engaged are working very well and it is a great credit to both our pupils and their parents’ as we make our way through these difficult times.  The school staff have been working very hard also to provide learning opportunities and activities to create interest and challenge for your children while they are not able to attend school.   Well done to you all for supporting your child/children’s learning in this way.

As we approach the end of the academic year, it is important to stay focussed on some work/activities and I appeal for those of you who have not engaged frequently or at all to try to join in before the year ends.  The link is at the bottom of the page.  You can give consent through the Google Drive link and the class teacher will get back to you by email.

As I am sure you will understand that the future is still uncertain and may well contain an ongoing element of distance learning.  To this end, I appeal for all families to try to engage with our chosen platform as much as possible.

Thank you for your co-operation.

Yours sincerely

Gill Education are happy to continue our support for you, your pupils and parents during this time by maintaining full open access – NO LOGIN or REGISTRATION REQUIRED – to the eBooks and all available digital resources of our key primary programmes until the end of this academic year. Simply go to bit.ly/GillExplore-OvertheMoon-digital-open-access and navigate to your chosen title. We are delighted to let you know that this open access extends to the digital library for Over the Moon, our recently completed programme for the new Primary English Language Curriculum. Our reps can obviously not visit you right now, so if you want to find out more about the programme, you can sit back with a cup of tea for just 10 minutes and enjoy this short overview of all the key features; you can also see what Ratoath Junior NS, who have been using Over the Moon with all their classes since September 2019, think about the programme (3 ½ mins).
