Wednesday 25th March 2020

Wow what an excellent first day - all those expected to log in did so! Please check out the feedback on your 2do's.  If I have asked you to revist a task this is just like doing purple pen/T responses in class.  Thank you for the messages and questions this feedback is essential for me to improve the learning opportunites I can give the children whilst they are at home. 

 

Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions today:

-Work on Purple Mash is not showing as submitted or there isn't a submit button - I have learnt today that not all tasks have a submit button and some 2do task remain live for the whole day. If you child has completed and activity please don't worry at the moment all work, scores are coming through to me so don't worry.

-Do I have to do the work in the morning or as the timetable says? At the moment no children can do it whenever it fits into your home schedule as I know alot of you are also trying to juggle working from home.  I will give feedback when ever work is submitted. If you miss a day just carry on from the last time your child used the online resources.

-The multiplication task on Purple Mash is too fast - I have had a go tonight and I appreciate the timer element when it moves on can be very off putting. I would recommend using Maths Frame instead. This version allows you to alter the time and the focus (the children have used this in school with me). Don't worry about submitting scores to me but try and keep track in the back of the maths book.

-Sometimes the tasks instructions are not clear - I have added a powerpoint with the timetable for tomorrow to support with the maths task instructions please let me know if this is useful and I will start doing this everyday!
