Pupils of Kewaigue Primary School are using video conferences to keep in touch with teachers and friends.
The school says while the majority of children are learning from home due to the Coronavirus lockdown, regular scheduled video conferencing sessions are giving children and staff opportunities to collaborate and maintain relationships.
It follows a risk assessment, security features and an agreement with parents.
Kewaigue Headteacher Adrian Shorthouse, said ‘Over the last fortnight, we have been investigating the use of video conferencing to help bring our school community together at this difficult time.'
This technology provides an opportunity for interactive sessions for classes by the staff - taking part is optional however.
Mr Moon, a parent of a child at Kewaigue said ‘This is a great way for my daughter to see her friends and teachers and still feel part of her class. She’s told jokes, and played games so far. It’s a lovely thing to do while she can’t be at school.’
