Distance Learning at Ysgol Morgan Llwyd
Dear Pupils
Just a little note from your teachers at Ysgol Morgan Llwyd to say we are thinking of you and hope you are keeping well. The situation is very difficult and it is a strange feeling that we are not seeing you on a regular basis.
We hope that everything is going well with the work on Google Classroom but, if not, don't be afraid to contact us. This is new for us too and we are all learning! Some of you have been in touch saying that you feel too much work is being set and so we have designed an example timetable that you can use should you wish to. Here are a few points to consider:
- The resources and directions can all be found in Google Classrooms.
- Pupils in year 7,8 and 9 please do not complete any more work on the skills project, concentrate on your subjects from now on.
- You should spend about 3 hours on school work each day. You could use the example timetable, do your best to work through it. It is not essential to complete everything. Complete the activities at a time that suits you and your family.
- Remember to follow a daily plan for your wellbeing, physical and social activities. Personal time to relax is important.
- Here is a suggested plan, just do your best to work through it.
- If you need to contact a member of the Hwb team please telephone 07956351448.
- Enjoy the activities and have fun!
Please don't worry about all the tasks or the deadlines set. The important thing is that you do your best and arrange a work schedule that suits you. If you need more time to finish work then that's fine for us. The most important thing is that you take care of yourself during these difficult times.
Keep safe.
Dear parents and carers
In the midst of such a unique situation we are aware that many of you are concerned for your children's education. Some parents contact to say that not enough work is being set and others to say that too much work is being set. Remember that statutory education ended temporarily in Wales on March 20 so there are no specific rules about what and how much school work children should be doing.
We hope that your children understand how to use Google Classroom by now but if not, don't be afraid to contact us. This is new for us too and so we are all learning! This document is intended to provide a suggested timetable for those who are struggling with this new way of learning. Here are a few points to consider:
- Support and reassure your child. We do not expect you to be teachers! The work set is suitable for your child. Some very important skills for success is an ability to keep working on a task, finding ways to solve problems – try to encourage your children to stick to a task and not give up at the first hurdle.
- All work set is available on Google Classrooms. Everything your child needs in terms of guidance should be on Google Classroom but teachers can also be contacted for additional guidance.
- Not every subject is covered every day. You and your child can use the suggested timetable if a routine helps. The activities can be completed at a time that suits you and your family and your work commitments.
- Please encourage your child to follow a daily plan for wellbeing, physical and social activities and helping you around the house!
- If you need support or have any questions your initial contact should be the Head of Year (contactable through email – see below).
- Remember that Online Security is important. For more information or if you are worried please contact the school.
- Further information and support is available on the Hwb platform – www.hwb.gov.uk
Finally remember we are here to support you. The office staff are in school every day we are open. Should you require support or any help in an emergency you could either email your Head of Year (email addresses below) or telephone 07956351448.
