Hi everyone, welcome to your PGPS Learning from Home pages. On the main Remote Learning menu you will see that we have set up a specific page for your class and for each of the Specialist areas.
On your page your teacher will have a greeting and timetable for the day(s). If you want to communicate with them you can send them an email (there are also contact boxes on the "Contact a Teacher" page). During the current remote learning period teachers will schedule some Webex (video conferencing) morning check ins and live teaching so keep an eye out on your class page for information.
Specialist staff will post work on their pages each week and also conduct some live Webex sessions at various times (please see below).

Specialist staff will post work on their pages each week and also conduct some live Webex sessions at various times (please see below).
A reminder to please help your child message or email their teacher every day during remote learning this week as this will help them to keep track of student "attendance" at school.
Some notes regarding remote learning:
Remote learning will happen on school days (not the holidays and not the weekends or curriculum days) between the hours of 9-3.30pm as per school hours. We can appreciate that with so many different family situations happening that your hours and school hours may not always completely align. With this in mind teachers have planned by and large for a flexible learning environment, allowing all families to also have some flexibility as well.
Any emails to be teachers will be replied to by the next day at the latest. If you require a quick response please contact the school directly. As per any other school day, teachers also have planning time, meeting times, lunch, breaks and other duties (such as leadership duties etc) that are also taking part behind the scenes. From an administrative perspective all teachers have multiple roles they are fulfilling, including - like yourselves being parents of children who are remote learning themselves, carers for elderly, dealing with illness and dealing with many of the same issues that you will be at home.
Setting your child up "ready to learn":
- Set up a comfortable learning area on a table or a desk in a common area of your house. Make sure you have plenty of light to see what you are doing.
- Maintain set wake up times, e.g. 8.00am. Eat a nice breakfast, go outside for a bit of a play if you can and avoid technology. Chat about your plans for the day.
- Aim for two or three learning blocks per day.
- During the learning blocks, complete work that your teacher has provided to you. Technology should only be used for learning during this time.
- In between learning blocks, do physical activity, have play time, creative time or do helpful jobs around the house for your parent or carer. Go outside, do craft, draw, play Lego, play board games. Bake, sing, dance, make movies. Use playdough, work in the garden, cook, design and build something. It’s up to you!
- Eat well and enjoy your meals together as a family.
- Read to a parent, carer or a sibling once a day.
- If you play video games, use the internet or watch TV, agree on set times per day. Be cyber-safe and only use technology in sight of your parent or carer.
Some general resources to support parents and carers to engage in learning activities with their children at home:
- Play-based learning for pre-schoolers – provides suggestions for good structured and unstructured play experiences for 3 – 5 year olds

- Building STEM skills for children – includes ways to engage children with STEM related experiences.
- Raising Children Network also has a range of learning activities for pre-schoolers. It includes tips and ideas as well as videos of drawing, writing, storytelling, counting and other activities that can be done at home.
Some general ideas from our teaching staff:
- Mathletics (please contact us if you do not know your child’s login)
- Reading every day (we can provide books if required) and writing/drawing a “readers’ response”
- Learning the times tables (multiplication tables)
- Counting and Number activities
- Creative writing
