This week in class I have taught the class how to use Microsoft Teams - this is an online learning platform. The children have been given their own emails and passwords to log onto Teams. We will be using this platform should we need to work from home as per the guidance given by the DFE. I have set up a small task for your child to write a sentence about what they did over the weekend.

You should have been sent a step-by-step guide how on how to use Microsoft Teams and we will be producing a video showing you exactly how to navigate the programme which will be on our blog. Please do not change your child’s password.

Have a great weekend.

From the Year 2 team.
