Home Learning Links
Dear Families,
While your child cannot attend school due to the closure of their bubble, or because they are isolating, we have gathered all of our most useful links together onto this page.
Work will be set mostly through Google Classroom, but you should also check other websites that we use like MyMaths, Times Tables Rock Stars, Accelerated Reader and Rising Stars. (Not every year group uses all of these, your child will have brought a letter home recently with all of their login details.
If you have any questions please contact
Children have all be shown how to login to their Google Classroom, and the letter school has sent home has all of their other login details.
We also use a number of subscription services to enrich and extend children's education, and those links can be found here:
These two websites should be checked regularly: most classes set weekly homework on MyMaths, and there is always a timestable to practise on Rockstars!
If you are in year 3, 4 or 5 click here to access your Accelerated Reader account and take your next quiz!
If you are in year 6 and you want to access your online maths and SPaG homework then click on the Rising Stars button on the left.
We have also compiled this big list of free resources that you can access at home in order to support your child's further learning.
While we are recommending these pages, channels and resources, we do not monitor them on a regular basis and therefore cannot guarantee what content is available on them - it is always the responsibility of the primary care giver to monitor children's use of the internet.
When working online, children will need adult supervision. You would not let your child play with strangers in real life, please do not let this happen online. There are resources to help you keep safe:
-
Childline - for support
-
UK Safer Internet Centre - to report and remove harmful online content
-
CEOP - for advice on making a report about online abuse
Online Lessons
There is a lot of online content to look at but we recommend the BBC Bitesize, OAK National Academy and Classroom Secrets as excellent resources for structured learning at home.
