Good Morning Woodpeckers,
As I said yesterday, this post is all about Google Classroom.
As of Monday 11th May, Mrs Howe and I will be uploading work to both the Year 3 Blog and Google Classroom. We will continue to put work on both until the end of next week (Friday 15th May). From Monday 18th May, all work will be uploaded to Google Classroom only.
After this time, the Year 3 blog will return to being used for short messages and photos as before.
Below, you will find a link to the Google Classroom Guide for parents which will explain everything you need know to access Woodpecker Class’ Google Classroom.
Each student has an email set up in the format set out in the Parents Guide below however for GDPR reasons we cannot list them here.
To access Google Classroom, when asked to enter the student’s sign-in ID, this will be in the following format:
firstnamesurname@plaistowandkirdford.org
To find Google Classroom go to:
Make sure you haved signed out of all other gmail accounts.
Password to join is: mabhhfy
I have added a screenshot of Woodpecker Google Classroom front page. This is from our ‘stream’ page which will show you any messages from us.
To access lessons, you will need to click on ‘classwork’ located at the top of screen, on the right of ‘stream’.
If you have any difficulties logging on or accessing Google classrooms please email Paul Hannan on pkpsgooglesupport@plaistowandkirdford.org for support.
Once you have joined Google classroom, Mrs Howe and I will be able to assign work to your child. Occasionally work may be set for specific children where it may be more appropriate. For example if they are struggling with a certain concept.
Please note, most of the time we will not be providing individual feedback on the work. Mrs Howe and I will be providing the answers the next day in order for the children to self-mark their work. We are happy to answer any questions or make suggestions if a child is finding something very tricky etc.
We are hoping by the end of next week, everyone will have transitioned over to Google Classroom. Please do get in touch if you need support with the transition and Mrs Howe and I will get back to you as soon as we can.
