MEADOWPARK MATTERS 08.05.2020
Published: Fri 8 May 2020

Staff and pupils continue to use the Google Classroom platform to engage with classwork and with each other and the frequency and quality of engagement has increased as the weeks go by. This week has been particularly difficult with a short week sandwiched between two long weekends, but this has not created a barrier to learning and interaction.

During the course of our staff meeting we all agreed that, moving forward, there is much that can be learned from our enforced learning curve of all things G-Suite and the long term benefits that this will have on pupils who might need to work alone for short periods, and who can engage more effectively with mainstream subjects in Knox Academy. more here...08.05.2020

I am delighted to report that 83% of pupils are actively engaging with Google Classroom – some more frequently than others but what is reassuring is that it allows teachers to perform a remote ‘wellbeing scan’. The introduction of weekly Class Meets is proving to be a focal point for seeing each other and sharing some of the best – and trickier parts of the week.

Pupils and staff have made a huge effort to re-engage with being virtually back at school this week, and much as we have missed having pupils in the building I am delighted that the momentum and motivation continues.

Pupils are working at so many levels and it appears that there are a number of parents and staff who are enjoying some of the activities that are being suggested, especially outdoor learning and some science experiments. Read more here...24.04.2020

Resilience, connections and perseverance (especially with all things IT) are the key themes to have emerged this week. Our newly emerging online community is developing confidence and creativity through new ways of working, staying in contact and supporting each other.

Meadowpark pupils and staff continue to embody our ‘can do’ attitude and progress is being made in Literacy, Numeracy, Art and Design and class projects.

I know how much effort and planning has gone into making this achievable: providing packs of work, keeping in regular contact and providing detailed instructions mindful that parents are not teachers but need to be able to access their child’s learning. Read more here... Newsletter 03.04.2020
