Teachers will try their best to ensure access to high quality learning materials via the following:

Use of See-Saw

Pupils will be able to access school work through the See-Saw ‘app’. Teachers will be providing regular updates of tasks to be completed.

Mathletics

Pupils will locate activities related to the area of maths outlined by the Teacher on See-Saw for that week. These activities will be the priority but additional Mathletics activities of pupil choice may also be completed.

C2K Newsdesk (P3 – P7)

Pupils will be expected to use this valuable resource. Teachers will be able to monitor pupil activity. This is an amazing resource which will offer hours and hours of learning opportunity.

Daily Reading

Pupils in Primary 1, 2, 3 and some P4 can access books on Bug Club. Teachers will ensure that ample suitable titles are allocated.

All children should be members of our local library. Please join as soon as possible as e-books can then be accessed on ‘Libby’ and ‘Overdrive’ apps.

Transfer Revision

Primary 6 Teachers will upload tests and guidance notes on ‘One Note’ so that pupils will continue with their revision.

GL preparation work, above and beyond other school work, will be sent by Teachers.

Nessy / Lexia Users (Specific Children Only)

Pupils are encouraged to work at home at the level that they are currently using.

Please check your child has access to the above ‘apps’/on line learning programmes by testing their username and password (copy will be provided on See-Saw).

SeeSaw

Teachers will respond between the hours of 9.00 - 3.00pm only (some teachers work part time and as such will respond only on the days they are scheduled to work).

The teacher may not always be able to respond on the day of your message (depending on the number of SeeSaw posts received) but will respond as soon as they can.

We ask parents not to post too frequently as we wish to be fair to everyone. 

We respectfully request that any of our work or teachers comments are not shared on line or on any social media.

Parents need to contact the class teacher through "SeeSaw" if advice is required. 

Thank You

Mrs Monaghan

How do I access C2K from Home?

Pupils can access a range of C2k services by accessing

www.c2kschools.net  and logging in with their C2k username and password, or using the MySchool login Box on the home page of St Clare's Abbey website.

Home learning requires a certain amount of ‘online time’ for our children and it is wonderful that we can avail of this to keep a sense of normality and continuity in education at this time.  So as families start spending more time at home and online it may a good idea to have a family agreement, start a conversation with your whole family about how you all use the Internet and to discuss how to behave positively online.
