Update to Home Learning Packs
Hello everyone, we hope you are all safe and well, as of MONDAY 18th May we will be posting learning activities for your child on ClassDojo in addition to Microsoft Teams. (Class Story Section)
We know there have been difficulties accessing Teams andprinting work off. We have created the same learning packs and will place it as a PDF File in the class story section each week, so your child can access on there.
These will now replace Paper Packs we had distributed.
Please don't print off the pack, but your child can complete theactivities on paper.
If you would like to take a photograph of your child's work you cansend it to your child's teacher through the messages tab.
Microsoft Teams
Our teachers will now be setting weekly activities on Microsoft Teams for your child to access.
In order to access Teams your child will need to log into their HWB account and find the Office 365 icon. They will need to click on the Teams tab and locate their class.
The children's work will be assigned weekly and can be found in the assignment tab, they can complete the work, save it as their name and work and re-upload it to the assignment section.
We have also created online guides to help you through this. If you do have any problems accessing Teams please contact Mr Lewis on lewisa120@hwbcymru.net
