Learning Journals ParentZone

ParentZone is the new way for parents to access their Learning Journals account.


Why are we doing this?

Parentzone logins allow you to login to your Learning Journals account using your email address instead of your Learning Journals username. It also allows you to link profiles for children who are attending different schools or nurseries, so you can have one login for all your children.

To get started you will need an existing Learning Journals account, your school or nursery should have arranged for login instructions to come out to you already. If you don’t have this, contact your school or nursery

Got your Learning Journals login details?

You do need to know your existing Learning Journals username and password to get onboard with ParentZone – if you don’t have these you can reset your details from the Forgot Login page of your exising account or you can ask your nursery or school to do this for you.

Go to parentzone.yourlearningjournals.co.uk. You will see instructions here to onboard you into Parentzone.

If we detect you have multiple children in the Learning Journals system we will ask you to link your accounts. This means that if you have children in multiple settings you will be able to access them from one account in ParentZone.

Navigating ParentZone

All children that you have access to will appear for selection along the bottom of the screen.

You will also be able to access any messages from your schools or nurseries using the buttons along the bottom, as well as accessing your settings and preferences.

The Stream page gives you a view of everything that has been added to the profiles of the children that you have access to. This could be observations, stories, daily diary events, messages etc.

Using the filter to change views

Use the filter button at the top left of the screen to bring up the filter menu to change views of what you would like to see (remember to click the Apply button when changing views!)

Parent Contributions

If your setting has enabled Parent Contributions you will be able to add them contributions using the button at the top right. If your school or nursery has not enabled this feature it will not appear.

Child Page

Click on your child’s photo on the bottom bar to access their Child Page. Here you can access other links and settings relating to this child. Depending on which features your nursery has enabled you may not see all menu items in your account:

Settings

You can access your settings oage using the 3 horizontal buttons at the bottom right of the navigation bar:

British Science Week

Tomorrow is International Women’s Day
If you were asked to draw a scientist, would you draw the image below?

Can you think of any female scientists?

Reading books about women in science, or story books with female characters can encourage more women into science!

Ada Twist, Scientist is now available as a TV show on Netflix!

The Esplanade Eagles have been hard at work thinking of different activities for the school. Your teachers may do some activities at school, or set some for homework.

Primary 1 – HWB

The Colour Monster

We have been learning about emotions using the story The Colour Monster.

We learn that we can feel more than one emotion at one time, and that having all of these emotions is normal. We discuss why we might have these emotions and how we can share these in a safe way, and how we can help ourselves to feel better.

Sometimes little deals, can feel like big deals. We are learning about this though the Big Deal, Little Deal social story below.

Building Resilience

This term, our Building Resilience module is Expect the Unexpected. Ms Finlayson launched the theme at assembly. Here are the 3 main learning outcomes:

  • Change is a part of life
  • It’s OK not to be OK
  • I have ways to look after my mental health

Please see below the family home task and parent information linked to this block

Below is the Ten Things poster depicting ten ways we can develop our resilience
