Frequently Asked Questions

1. There is too much text for me to read on a screen?

No problem ... you might consider printing it off or why not copy and paste the text into Google Translate and the computer will read it aloud for you.

2. There is too much work to do in 30 minute lessons?

Don't worry ... do what you can (and just let your teacher know via the private comments if you can).

3. The live lesson does not appear to be on .... what should I do?

All necessary changes to the timetable can be found on this site on the Remote Learning page, why not pop back occasionally to see what different!

4. My internet keeps dropping out, what should I do?

Don't panic ... just go to the Instructions and do the work that is set. Rejoin once you see a message on the Stream.

5. I feel like I need to ask the teacher lots of questions because I am scared to get it wrong?

Please, please do not worry about getting things wrong.

Remote Learning is new to all of us, pupils and teachers! Just re-read the Instructions a couple of times and give it a go ! Don't forget the teachers can see your work as you are typing. They will do their best to help you in every way they can. Try to look at every task as an opportunity to embrace learning something new ...

6. I am getting headaches from looking at the screen for too long?

This is really important. You must use the breaks to ACTUALLY take a break. Please can you make sure you have a glass of water with you at all times too.

7. Can I lay down and learn because it is more comfortable lying in bed?

No, sorry ... you need to be sitting ready to learn at a table or desk preferably downstairs (if you can).

8. How can I work from a PDF document (older children)?

There are three options. 1. You can record your answers on a document. 2. You may wish to use the Kami app to annotate a PDF or 3. You may wish to print and edit.
