Dear Year 5 Families,
Welcome to our online learning site! We are very excited to be reconnecting with all our students and learning together online. Below you will find a suggested timetable for learning, including the scheduled times for each class’ Google Meets, information videos and other additional learning videos and websites. We hope these are a fun way for your child to stay engaged in learning and feel connected to school.
Remote learning for year 5 will be accessed through Google Classroom, where all learning will be assigned weekly. Learning plans for the following week will also be posted on this page on a Friday afternoon.
We hope you stay safe and we look forward to seeing students in Google Meets and lots of photos of learning.
The Year 5 teachers,
Remana Ashton, Jarryd Heywood, Helen Munro, Albert Palazzo and Vidhya Saravanan
Google Classroom
We will be using Google Classrooms for our way to connect with students. Each child's learning for the week will be uploaded onto their Google Classroom and can be completed across the day. Google Meets or Hangouts will also be linked through this. Your child can access their Google Classroom through the Digital Backpack. You can find this link on our school website. If they cannot access it please contact the front office on 61420760 or via admin@nthainslieps.act.edu.au for support. If you are unsure how to use or access either of these features, click on the links to the left.
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.
Your child can access their Google Classroom through the Digital Backpack. You can find this link at:
the bottom of the 'Learning Remotely' page of this Google Site
the school's website by clicking the Digital Backpack tab on the top banner.
Your child should already have access to the Google Classroom for their class, if they cannot access it please contact the front office on 61420760 or via admin@nthainslieps.act.edu.au for support.
Please note, that this is only a suggested timetable, similar to the routine students would have in the classroom. Learning remotely for each family will be different and should be altered to suit the needs of your own family. We have included a colour and b&w version. Students might like to get themselves set up at a desk or table with a writing pencil/pen, coloured pencils and their exercise book during the learning times.
Students in the year 5 Band have a Google Meet on Tuesdays with Kath Bingham and the IMP teacher between 11:30am and 1pm - depending on their instrument. Please see the Band Google Classroom for the timetable and more information.
Each week specialist lessons will be uploaded to Google Classroom. They will be set as an assignment so watch out for these. Your child can share your learning with them by submitting their learning in the assignment!
Specialist subject day is Thursday so time has been allocated for these subjects then in our timetable.
