Ensuring that learning continues is our priority. Whilst school is open as normal, both individuals and ‘bubbles’ of students may be required to self isolate if they have been in contact with a Covid case. Here’s what you need to know to access remote learning. This page explains how to access remote lessons and learning materials at home. Remember, your health and recovery is important. If you are unwell, you should be marked absent from school, and should not tackle school work if you are not well enough to do so. Get some rest! REMOTE LEARNING FAQ WHAT SHOULD I DO? You will be following your normal timetable and the work which you would be doing in the classroom as far as possible. How you access this will vary depending on whether you are an isolating individual or part of a bubble, on your year group, and your lessons. FOLLOW THESE FOUR STEPS AND YOU’LL ENSURE YOU DON’T MISS ANYTHING: Start with your timetable - you will following your normal timetabled lessons First access your Microsoft Teams calendar. Here you will find any live lessons you may have been set for the day. Next, open up the Remote Learning Grid for your year group below. Here you will find the relevant work for any lessons that are not being delivered as live lessons. Check your school email for any messages from your teachers. If you have any questions, contact your class teacher in the first instance. THE HOME LEARNING GRID - A.K.A. WHAT DO I DO IF A LIVE LESSON IS NOT RUNNING? Where a live lesson is not running in your timetabled lesson, you can access the work set for you by clicking the button for your year group below and finding the lesson that matches where you are in your timetable. This is sometimes referred to as our ‘Home Learning Grid’. Where a lesson is not running due to teacher absence, you may be emailed work by the Head of Department, so make sure you are checking your emails. YEAR 7 YEAR 8 YEAR 9 YEAR 10 YEAR 11 FOR RYBURN SIXTH SEE BELOW HOW TO NUMBER YOUR TIMETABLE Working one subject at a time, number your lessons consecutively, going through the days across your full two week timetable, from Monday A week to Friday B week. So for instance, if you have a Geography lessons on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, these would be on A week ‘Geography 1’ and ‘Geography 2’, and on B week ‘Geography 3’ and ‘Geography 4’. See the illustration below for an example. Mr Malik has recorded this video tutorial for students, explaining exactly how to find and submit any work set for you here. HOME LEARNING VIDEO TUTORIAL RYBURN SIXTH In Key Stage 5, class teachers will be in touch with their students directly about what work you should be doing at home, and how to access your live lessons. If you have any questions, you should email your teacher directly. The buttons below contain further and supporting work for each subject. YEAR 12 YEAR 13 LIVE LESSONS Wherever we can, we are offering live lessons; this for most subjects in cases where a whole class bubble is closed, and in most Key Stage 5 lessons. Access your Microsoft Teams calendar to find any live lessons you have been assigned. Students are expected to attend their live lessons and submit any work required. Registers will be taken. If you cannot attend for whatever reason, you should let your teacher or Head of Year know. For lessons that are not being delivered live, students should complete the work that is set on the home learning grid above. WHAT DO I NEED? A pen Paper to write on (not necessarily their books unless they have them) Their timetable An electronic device such as a phone, laptop or tablet To access the live lessons, students will need to use Microsoft Teams. Teams will work on any tablet or mobile device as well as a laptop. Some subjects will also use Google Classroom in conjunction with their remote learning. See the guides below for how to access these. All students will need to be able to access their school email account. If your child has forgotten their login or password please email helpdesk@rvhschool.co.uk for support. BEHAVIOUR, CONDUCT AND SAFETY IN LIVE LESSONS Live lessons are a different format for learning, and we have a specific set of rules governing behaviour and conduct. These rules are designed to help keep students safe and if they are not followed, school sanctions will be applied and parents may be contacted. When participating in a Live Lesson, students should remember that this is an extension of the classroom and you should conduct yourself as you would when on your best behaviour in a classroom. Please read and agree to the code of conduct. CODE OF CONDUCT ACCESS TO TECHNOLOGY Home learning, maybe with several children and parents working from home, is putting a lot of pressure on technology at home. For any student who does not have access to a smart device (eg. phone, tablet or laptop) or who has issues accessing a wi-fi connection or data please email the following members of staff for support. We can help with devices, data, or loan out keyboards and mice to use with games consoles to access the internet. Please don’t struggle - get in touch.
