Here or not here this week, we are moving to online learning. The daily task outline will be sent each day via email and posted here on the blog.  Students will be working through Seesaw and Microsoft Teams as their main platforms for their learning activities. They can also use their email to correspond with the teachers. This blog will have regular information, tips and ideas.  Seesaw - each day a selection of activities will be posted for students to complete and work on.

One of these may include an online version of a roll call (yet to be decided). Just note that teachers will only be active on Team...
