Dear Parents/GuardiansWeek 1

i

Welcome back to Term 2. This term may present challenges for students, teachers and families as we move to a new way of remote teaching and learning, but one which I am sure we can work through positively together. Where possible, we have planned to keep the structure similar to a normal school day with activities following our Term 2 curriculum. Teachers will use the Parent Portal as the main means of communicating with parents. At the start of each week, we will provide your child with a weekly plan of activities focusing on Literacy, Numeracy and Inquiry. We will provide some general resources (such as those in this pack) and also include specific lessons for your child to complete with your support. Specialist teachers will provide ideas for lessons which your child will be able to access. Parents can use the portal for students to send any written tasks as an attachment or photo to their teacher who can then provide feedback. Many of the activities can be shared with family members, and parents can give immediate feedback or support as required. Teachers will have access to your child’s progress through the Literacy and Numeracy online programs and will set work via these platforms in the weeks to come. Remote learning is very new for all of us and we understand that families will approach this in different ways, but it is important to stay connected to school. We have provided key Literacy and Numeracy learning along with other activities which should take a few hours a day. A school day at home may be quite different from a normal day in the classroom. Children normally attend school from 9am to 3.30pm, but at home, these times may be flexible. Teachers have planned work which may be completed in a shorter time frame than a whole school day due to different variables including discussion times, breaks and family routines. We don’t expect students to be completing school work for 6 hours a day. In fact, the DET recommends we provide literacy activities that take a total of about 45-60 minutes, with 30-45 minutes allocated to each of numeracy, play-based learning and physical activity. All other activities such as specialist and inquiring learning subjects should run for about 90 minutes each day.We do encourage parents to be guided by their child and give them regular breaks. Please remember that it is important for children to get fresh air and keep active. There are plenty of fun activities that they might like to do from the ‘Activities To Do At Home’ link that you have already received through the parent portal.

Regards, Henry Grossek, Sandra McCrum and Angela Maskery Berwick Lodge Primary School Leadership Team.
