Dear Parents and Carers
On Monday 11th January, we will be re-launching Neston School’s remote learning programme.
We’ve made some updates and improvements that we think everyone will enjoy and benefit from. We will continue to teach and feedback using the Seesaw platform but we will also soon be offering our remote learners daily opportunities to interact live with their teachers and classmates in school.
Each of our remote learning days is going to reflect a regular school day.
As soon as we get Microsoft Teams up and running, we’ll start with a live registration, which will include our remote learners at home and our face-to-face learners at school.
The day’s learning will be structured to follow the usual class timetable (specific information about your child/ren's class timetables will be posted on Seesaw) so the provision is the same for our remote learners and our face-to-face pupils. We encourage all of our remote learners to do their Seesaw learning assignments in the same order as their face-to-face classmates are doing in school. Teachers will be building in opportunities to look at the learning posted by remote learners throughout the day and feeding back where necessary. They will stop feeding back at 5.00pm when they will take the opportunity to adjust their plans for the next day based on the day’s learning output.
At 2.00pm every afternoon, our remote-learners will again be able to check in with their teachers via Microsoft Teams (when operational) for some group feedback, consolidation or sharing of learning.
Now that we have all had a practise run at remote learning during the first lockdown, we are looking forward to seeing all of our pupils fully accessing the curriculum and making progress with their age-related learning.
If for some technical reason, your child/ren is unable to access the learning for the day, please contact the school at admin@neston.wilts.sch.uk
We are all looking forward to next week! There will be some teething issues from all sides but we know that everyone will be trying their best and it won’t be long until everyone settles into the new routine.
Have a lovely weekend
The Neston Teaching Team
