Dear Year 2 Families,
Welcome to the North Ainslie Primary online learning site! Below you will find our weekly learning grid for the following week- uploaded here and on Class Dojo each Friday afternoon, a timetable of learning and lots of other useful resources. We hope they are a fun way for your child to stay engaged in learning and feeling connected to school.
Class Dojo will be a key way that we will be connecting with you and your child. Sharing photos through the portfolio feature on Class Dojo is a wonderful way for your child's teacher to see and respond to your child's learning. Teachers will check Class Dojo each day to acknowledge posts, give feedback and respond to any questions that you may have.
We hope that while you are at home you are able to find ways to look after you family well-being. The well-being tab at the top of this site has some great ideas for looking after your physical and mental health.
Stay safe, have some fun and we look forward to seeing students in Google Meets and some wonderful learning photos this week.
The Year 2 teachers,
Kate Cummins, Rachel Levinson, Camille Wise, Rachel Mian and Loren Franklin
HERE IS OUR LEARNING GRID FOR WEEK 2, TERM 4. THIS WILL ALSO BE UPLOADED ON YOUR CHILD'S CLASS DOJO PAGE. SEE BELOW FOR THE WEEKLY TIMETABLE TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT THE LEARNING COULD LOOK LIKE OVER THE WEEK.
Class Dojo
We will be using Class Dojo for our way to share videos, stories, songs, and also as a portal for you to share what your child has been doing at home with you all.
If you are unsure how to use the portfolio section on Class Dojo, please click on the link to the left to see a tutorial on how this feature works.
Google Meets
Each morning, all students will be required to participate in their class’ Google Meet to check in and for attendance purposes. This meet will only be a short, 15 minute time to check in with students and mark the roll.
The middle of the day Google Meets are designed for teachers to be available online to support and clarify the learning tasks for students.
Please remember this is a suggested timetable based off our learning at school - do what works best for you, your child and your family. We have included a colour and black and white version below. Students might like to get themselves set up at a desk or table with a writing pencil/pen, coloured pencils, their exercise book during the learning times.
Each week specialist lessons will be uploaded to Dojo. They will be set as an activity so watch out for these. Your child can share your learning with them through their portfolio!
Specialist subject day is Thursday so time has been allocated for these subjects then in our timetable.
In the meantime, if you would like more, below are some links to great online resources.
