Dear Parents/Carers,

 

Two key issues to share today:

 

*SEESAW*

 

We are excited to announce that we will be using a fantastic home learning resource called Seesaw. Seesaw allows children to complete homework using an smart phone, tablet or computer, 

and also allows the teacher and students to share what is happening in the classroom. In the event of your child requiring to self isolate, Seesaw will also be used by the teacher to set work for your child, which will be the same as what is happening in class. 

 

Your child will be receiving their first homework task on Friday, along with clear instructions explaining how to log in and access the task. 

 

 In preparation for this, we ask that you download the free SEESAW CLASS app on an iOS or Android device. If you are accessing Seesaw on a  computer, it can be found at the following address: https://app.seesaw.me. This is the app your child will use to compete tasks set by the teacher.

 

You may also want to download the SEESAW FAMILY app. This app is for you as a parent/carer to view your child(s) work. This will also be used in the near future as a communication tool between home and school.

 

We are excited to begin using this fantastic learning platform and early pupil feedback is very positive. If you have any problems downloading the app please do not hesitate to contact the school at frontdesk@oldoak.lbhf.sch.uk and someone will be able to support you. ​

 

*SELF-ISOLATING GUIDELINES* 

 

We know that there are a few cases of Covid 19 at other schools in Hammersmith and Fulham. If an older brother or sister has been sent home to self isolate because of a case in the school or bubble, the children at Old Oak can still come to school.  The guidance states: If you are a contact of a person who has tested positive for COVID-19, but you do not have symptoms, other people living with you do not need to self-isolate and should follow the general guidance. 

 

If anybody in your home has symptoms, then please self isolate everyone at home and call the school immediately.

Please look at the attached guidance for more information and for information about when to have a test.

 

Please take care and stay safe.

 

 

Best wishes

Joe
