Year 5 Zoom Meeting

Hello Year 5!

We realise that it has been a long time since you have seen your classmates. Things at school have changed in the time that you have been gone, but not as much as you may have thought.

We would like as many of you as possible to see the classroom and see how school is set up to reassure you that even though ‘some’ things have changed, we are all thriving in the ‘new norm’.

Further to this, we thought that a Zoom session would be a good way for you to stay in touch with the class and to find out what has been going on here.

The meeting is due to take place at 1:30 pm on Thursday 9th July.

There are some things that it is really important that we do to make sure that the Zoom session is a safe place for us all to be in, so, below is a list of guidelines for us to follow to make this a successful meeting:

  • I (as class teacher) will be the host and lead the meeting.

  • Parents will have confirmed with the school office that they give permission for you to attend the meeting.

  • Both myself and Mrs Williams will be present at the meeting.

  • You should be sitting downstairs with a family member in the room. (They don’t have to be on-screen!)

  • Please make sure that you are up and dressed for the meeting (no pyjamas please).

  • Be aware that to make the meeting safe, I (as the host) will be recording the meeting

  • You will be muted but will be given the opportunity to speak when you want to. If you are at the meeting you will definitely be given a chance to speak.

  • If anyone enters the meeting who we don't know, I will end the meeting immediately and we will arrange another time for it to happen.

Though the above list looks long, by doing everything in the list we can make sure that we all enjoy the meeting and get the most out of the session.

Your parents have been sent a message asking for their consent for you to be involved. We will ask them to read through this blog before the meeting to make sure we all know how it will work.

Parents will receive a second text message with the login details half an hour before the meeting is due to begin on Thursday 9th July.

Hopefully see you soon,

Miss Twigger
