Please create a folder on your school Google Drive named "Online Learning". Within this folder, you can make subfolders of "Reading", "Writing", "Maths" and "PE". Once you have done this, please share your "Online Learning 2021" folder with me, so I can see all of the amazing work you are uploading.

You can upload photos of written work, create documents, Google Drawings, slides, videos and more. Please make sure every document is named and dated, so I know when the work is being completed. You don't need to share every individual document, as I have access to your Google Drive folder.

Please send me an email daily (amy.foreman@bellblock.school.nz) when you are ready for me to mark your work, just so I know when you are finished and ready for feedback.

We will video call twice daily, once in the morning at 9am and once in the afternoon at 2:30pm. Please click this Google meet link to join at those times.

If you need extra assistance, please email me and I will be happy to video conference you separately or answer questions via email.

Homework and production information can be found by clicking the tabs at the top of the website.

Have a go at everything and try your best!

When learning and interacting online there are some basic manners and etiquette to use. These are outlined below:

• Listen & be present during video chats.

• Mute yourself unless you need to talk.

• One person talking at a time - don't interrupt.

• Chat is for questions related to the topic, not your own personal chat channel.

• Language is to be school appropriate.

• Select clothing and a location suitable for speaking to others.

Learning from home can be a challenge. There a some simple things you can do to make it better for yourself, which are listed below

• Have a dedicated learning space. Think of this as your desk, do your work from here each day and pack it up each day at 3pm.

• Set Alarms. Use your phone or device to create a normal school routine for yourself. The closed to a normal school day you can keep it the better it will be for you once normal school resumes.

• Take a break! For every 45mins staring at a screen you need a 15 minute break. Go talk to your family, play with a pet, read a book or do some exercise.

• Don't stress. If something is too hard or you don't understand it thats normal, it happens to everyone. Can't concentrate? Not feeling up to online learning today? Make sure you let me know, if I don't know, I can't help!

• Have fun. This is hard time for all of us so the best thing to do is smile and enjoy it. Put on some of your favourite music when independently learning, do a just dance for a break, wear a funny hat or mask to our meetings. The more we can put a smile on our faces the easier this will be!
