Dear Parents and Carers in KS2,
Remote education update
As we are now in the second week of our school closure, I wanted to update you on some improvements we are making to Google Classroom.
● From Monday 18th January, all remote learning across the school is through Google Classroom.
● Every school day, learning will be uploaded to Google Classroom by 8-00am.
● A daily Google meet session is timetabled for each year group; this is where a member of staff will be online live to explain the learning and activities for the day. Children are also able to ask questions during this session. This will be recorded and posted to Google Classroom so children can rewatch at any time. Where possible, we want all children to join the live stream.
Live session timings (every school day).
This session will also be recorded and posted on Google Classroom by 11-00.
Year 3 9-30 (30 minutes)
Year 4 9-30 (30 minutes)
Year 5 8-45 (30 minutes)
Year 6 8-45 (30 minutes)
● In addition to the live daily Google meet, recorded activities will be posted.
● We have produced a series of short films to help our children and parents. These are posted on every Google Classroom page, the Mead YouTube page and the Mead Facebook page. Do let us know if there are any other films you would like us to produce.
● Any parent who requires a Chromebook for their child should phone the school (01708 343616) or email mail@mead.havering.sch.uk. We may be able to help with this.
● Any parent who requires access to the internet for their child should phone the school (01708 343616) or email mail@mead.havering.sch.uk. We may be able to help with this.
● Only in exceptional circumstances. will we provide paper copies. Google Classroom is a much more effective way for children to learn and interact with the staff and children.

Year 5 year5@mead.havering.sch.uk
Year 6 year6@mead.havering.sch.uk
General enquiries mail@mead.havering.sch.uk or 01708 343616
Google Classroom is an easy and safe
platform for our children and staff to use and is something we will continue to
use when the children fully return to school. We will only issue paper copies
in exceptional circumstances.
Thank you
for your support with this.
Mr Denchfield
