Hi Everyone!
Hope you have had a relaxing break and a wonderful Easter.
Below are some resources and lessons to be done while we are doing remote learning. The lessons have links to worksheets and websites that have been included.
The following link is a timetable of scheduled Google Meetings that the students will need to attend and the times when Mrs Cox and I are unavailable due to planning.
Due to Google Meetings being a bit more difficult than we thought, we are now using a new meetings page called Webex. The link that you will need to get in contact with your teacher is on Compass for grownups to find. This link will not change.
Have some fun and enjoy learning in a different environment.
Links commonly used:
Students have their passwords in their diary for the above websites.
If you are experiencing any problems, please connect with me on Google Meet during my available times or email the school - tarwin.lower.ps@edumail.vic.gov.au
