Daily Timetable/Ko te WātakaWe will continue to use the Distance Learning timetable as it stands.  However we have added in tasks at different levels to cater for students needing more challenging or more accessible learning.  We have endeavoured to make changes to this doc to make it more user friendly and intuitive.

As well as the distance learning site, Tui teachers share the learning tasks with each child via their Google classroom. This allows students to ‘hand in’ their learning and for teachers to give feedback to each child about their learning over the week. This helps keep the teachers and students connected and provides further support with learning.
