REMOTE LEARNING CHANGES FROM WEEK 7
Starting on Monday 23 August 2021 we will be implementing the following changes to our delivery of remote learning tasks. Please be aware of the following changes:
There will now be THREE Zoom Meetings for all classes each week that we continue with remote learning.
Mondays: Zoom Weekly Welcome Meeting. Teachers will share prayer with students, announce the weekly awards and provide one instructional lesson or focus.
Wednesdays: Wellbeing Zoom Meeting. This will be our regular well-being catch up via zoom, except teachers will also introduce an engagement activity such as a kahoot, a quiz, a challenge, a word or number hunt to open up and encourage conversation and connection.
Fridays: Zoom Meeting with one instructional lesson or focus.
Please join your teachers for these three Zoom meetings starting on Monday as these are a great way to connect with classmates and teachers and also to receive explicit instruction in either reading/writing/maths. The Zooms will occur at the regular times on Monday, Wednesday and Friday eg.
| Years 5 & 6 | 9:00am |
| Kindergarten | 9:15am |
| Years 1 & 2 | 9:30am |
| Years 3 & 4 | 9:45am |
REMINDER OF PB4L EXPECTATIONS ON ZOOMS
Students are expected to abide by our school rules during remote learning and when accessing the Zoom platform. Our school rules are Be Respectful, Responsible and Safe. In line with the CEDoW Social Media Policy and CEDoW Responsible Use of Technology Agreement, the following expectations apply when accessing Zoom:
- Wear your school jacket/jumper or sport shirt to show you are a part of the St Brigid’s community and are ready to participate
- Turn your video ON so your teacher and classmates can see you
- Have your microphone on MUTE until your teacher asks you to speak
-
Wait your turn - teachers will give you a signal to use to speak, such as raising your hand
- Always listen and be respectful when others are speaking by staying focused and not speaking while another person is speaking
- Find a quiet place without distraction, bedrooms are not recommended
- Be on time for your scheduled Zoom meeting
- Be mindful that all Zoom meetings are recorded so adhering to the school rules and expectations are very important.
What remains the same:
- Completing the Daily Attendance Google Form everyday
- Completing the Well-being Check In Google form (when teachers request this)
- Remote Learning Tasks available on either Seesaw or Google Classroom
- Non-digital Tasks day on alternate Tuesdays and Thursdays
We await advice from Catholic Schools NSW as to the nature of learning for Weeks 8,9 and 10 of Term 3, however, if we are still in remote learning the Non-digital Tasks Days will be on the following days:
| Week 7 | Tuesday 24 August |
| Week 8 | Thursday 2 September |
| Week 9 | Tuesday 7 September |
| Week 10 | Thursday 16 September |
