Remote learning entitlements: Examples from the national overviews of practice Sandbank Primary School Immersion in Gaelic cannot be offered therefore staff are being creative in their support of parents, who do not have the language, as they undertake remote learning. The school has developed their website to include sound files and relevant links to support parents. Children are offered three live inputs daily to support language acquisition and parents are now more involved in methodologies than during in-school learning. The following information has been shared from the school to further illustrate their approach.
Remote learning entitlements: Examples from the national overviews of practice Sandbank Primary have shared information on their website: www.gaelichomelinkcowal.com Our website was initially created around 2019 to support Gaelic learning at home and provide support for all families and community members.

Examples are as follows: Sound files and videos developed and added to the website to keep Gaelic daily listening routines in place The sound files can also be added to our Seesaw class pages as part of individual lessons and activities Website is now supporting children with daily reading activities as part of remote learning Sound files created for individual word sets and words. There is a link to each book which allows for live lessons to be projected onto all viewer s screens, thus supporting children and parents throughout each lesson A sound file of the full book allows children to follow the book while the book is being read to support pronunciation of tricky words. A workbook is also linked to allow the children to follow the plans that would be in place for comprehension in the classroom to be followed at home.
