Good morning Robins,

Next week Robin class are going to move over to Google Classroom to access learning activities. The intention is for everyone to have moved over to using it by the end of the week. With that in mind, I will post work on both this blog and on Google classroom for this week but will discontinue using the blog for posting learning after Friday 15th May. The blog will revert to being used for short messages and photos etc, as it used to be.

Here is a youtube clip with everything you need to know about google classroom as a parent. Have a watch…

As our children are only 4/5 we won’t be using it in such a complex way but it gives you an idea.

So, now you have to create your own email in the format as set out in the guide (firstnamesurname). These have already been created by school but we are unable to add a list here for GDPR reasons. One or two of you have complicated surnames - if that is you, please contact the office to ask for the email details that have been created by school for you.

The classroom can be found at: https://classroom.google.com/c/OTk3ODg3MDIxNjZa

Password to join is: rhl4pac

P.S. Make sure you are logged out of all your google accounts.

I have added a screenshot of the front page of the classroom. This is from the ‘stream’ page. To access lessons, you need to click on ‘classwork’ (top, of screen, second from left). Nothing will come up until Monday 11th.

If you have any difficulties logging on or accessing Google classrooms please email Paul Hannan on pkpsgooglesupport@plaistowandkirdford.org for support.

GOOGLE CLASSROOM PARENT GUIDE

Please get in touch if I can help you with the transition over. Sounds all very confusing but once you get the hang of it is very exciting and very organised.

Enjoy your long weekend in the sunshine.
