Learning out of School
Downpatrick Primary School - School Closure
|
In the event of a prolonged school closure, pupils will continue to learn at home.
Each class will use an online learning platform for communication with children and parents.
In the event of a closure, class teachers will direct parents to the learning overview for the time that school may be closed. We will encourage all pupils to read everyday and use online activities to improve fluency and recall of mental facts.. My School is the VLE (Virtual Learning Environment) that all children use across Northern Ireland to access online applications. Your child will have a username and password to access the website. All pupils will have access to an online learning environment for their class A help sheet to access Google Classroom is available by clicking the link to the right and a video to help is below. |
