Remote learning

We have put the following remote learning in place to ensure children continue with their school work if they are absent from school due to COVID-19.

The learning matches what is being taught in class and it is essential your child completes all activities to the best of their ability each day.
Remote learning will be uploaded to Microsoft Teams by 10am each day. Click here for a guide to using Microsoft Teams
After each lesson your child will need to turn in their learning and complete a lesson reflection. This can be written or recorded and contain what they found challenging, how they overcame that challenge and share any successes from their learning.
The lesson reflections can be added to the assignment on Teams or emailed to admin@falconbrook.net with the child’s first name and class as the subject line by 4.00pm each day.

Communication with your child’s teacher:

You will receive a telephone call from the class teacher on the child’s second day of absence/first day of remote learning set
Children can post on the class team page on Teams (we will aim to reply within 24 hours)
You can email admin@falconbrook.net (we will aim to reply within 24 hours)

If you have any questions please either telephone the school or email admin@falconbrook.net
