Two bilingual blended learning Google Classrooms called 'Christmas' and 'Celebrities in the Castle' are available for KS2 teachers. They offer opportunities to develop Literacy, Numeracy and Digital skills. There are links with Accelerated Learning models available on the GwE Support Centre and the 4 Curriculum for Wales purposes.
You may find this collection of activities useful. They are not coherent themes, but a collection of blended learning units from which to pick and choose.
The Christmas classroom includes a combination of digital and traditional activities. See the class entry codes below.
If you would like a teacher copy of the classes, there is a link within the classes under the heading 'Introduction'. Follow the 'Apply for a teacher copy' instructions.
The codes for the new classes are:
Nadolig / Christmas (kei6znf)
Enwogion yn y Castell / Celebrities in the Castle (w2h755h)
GwE has developed three exemplar models that give context to the blended learning models showing how the principles of effective learning and teaching can be applied through blended approaches. You can use these models as the basis for your planning, or you can re-use some of the ideas or principles when formulating your own ideas. You can customize the tasks to use for the whole KS2 age range.
For further guidance, refer to the document 'Developing integrated approaches to support blended learning ...' produced in collaboration between the four regional consortia and Estyn.
The 'Google Classroom' is intended to exemplify and promote effective blended teaching and learning, good use of Google Classroom and effective use of various digital tools to teach, learn and collaborate
