Use of Online Resources
Our school adopted a number of online platforms to stay connected with pupils and parents during the lockdown period. Class teachers connected with pupils and parents using e-mail and online platforms such as Google classroom, SeeSaw, and Class Dojo.
Many classes completed various weekly SESE projects using Microsoft Word and PowerPoint.
Also, some classes used Kahoot to complete a weekly quiz during the lockdown period.
