Covid-19 distance teaching and learning

During Covid-19 we were pressed with the challenge of creating online learning tasks for our students and keeping in touch.

In the first week after the school holidays I started by calling every parent in my class to check in and see how they were. In the second week I did individual zoom sessions with most children in my class, checking in, sharing news, playing games, just re-building the relationships. In the following weeks I continued with some individual zooms and group zooms as well as class zooms. We had a crazy hat zoom, bring your pet to school zoom, scavenger hunts and quizzes. I also did some reading, writing and maths lessons.

Alongside these zooms I was also providing some online activities for the students to do for their learning (see below an example of 1 week).
I enjoyed the lockdown and found I was connecting way more with some students and families, our relationship was maintained. There were a few students who I missed as they did not have the access to the online learning in the same way, however I provided them with hard copies of the work below and dropped it off in their mailboxes.
