Nursery Home Learning

Dear Nursery Families,

We are all disappointed to be going online, but we are confident that the children will be provided with every opportunity for them to learn and progress through our home learning programme. This letter outlines some important details about our Nursery online learning from Friday 14th January.

Friday 14th January

Friday 14th January will begin with a whole-class Google Meet at 10.30am. The link for this session will be communicated through our ‘Virtual Classroom’, which can be located in the ‘Activities’ section of Seesaw from 5pm on Thursday 13th January. During this ‘live’ session, we will also explain the children’s Seesaw learning engagements for the day. They will then have time to complete their activities and we will then meet together again, online, via the same link at 2pm for reflection and review time.

We kindly ask that you ensure the children use their DBIS login information when accessing their Google Meets. We will not be admitting non-DBIS accounts into our live online sessions. Please can everyone join each live session on time, with their microphones turned off. Microphones should only be turned on when directed by a teacher. If you are having any technical difficulties please contact the helpdesk: [email protected]

From Monday 17th January

From Monday 17th January onwards, we will begin our full Nursery home learning programme. Your class timetable will be shared through Seesaw Announcements. We will also give out a physical copy of this to your child on Thursday 13th January.

Please note that the children have been placed in small-group Google Meet sessions. To ensure these sessions run on time, please ensure your child clicks on their lesson link at their correct time. If they arrive earlier than their specified time, they will be asked to leave and join again later.

Our Virtual Classrooms will outline each day’s learning and will be available on Seesaw from 5pm the day before. Monday’s Virtual Classroom will be available from 5pm on the previous Friday.

Activity Pack Information

To support the children’s home learning, your child will be given an activity pack. The resources in the pack are to support the children with their Google Meets and Seesaw challenges during the week, so we kindly ask that they don’t complete these activities before they have had their online introduction from their class teacher. You will find in each pack weekly instructions explaining when and how to use the resources. We will also add some additional resources for your child to try if they wish. If you would like paint or PVA glue, you can bring a reusable container and we can provide this. Activity packs can be collected from the EY Campus on Monday from 11.30am–12.30pm. 

If you would prefer to collect these resources from Tung Chung, please let your class teacher know. Mrs Yeo will be available every Monday from 3pm–3.15pm in the main Tung Chung square, near Starbucks (between the bus station and MTR station), to distribute these packs. When collecting your child’s resources, please show your child’s pick up card to Mrs Yeo.

We look forward to welcoming all our Nursery children to our home learning programme at 10.30am on Friday 14th January, via Google Meet. In the meantime, if you have any queries about any of the above, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s class teacher. 

Kind regards,

The Nursery Team
