Learning at Home

To ensure the continuity of education during school closures, so that no children miss out on valuable learning time - please see below a range of resources/website links that you can access from home. 

These resources are additional to Home Learning Timetables that will be posted weekly on ClassDojo by teachers and the ideas below are optional.

Accelerated Reader

It is really important that your child continues to read every day. While we won't be able to provide new books from school for children learning at home, many of the books you have access to at home or online will be on the Accelerated Reader scheme. Your child will be able to check if a book is on the Accelerated Reader scheme by logging into their account and doing a search. Children will be able to quiz after reading a book and also undertake the Star Reading Test which we usually do half termly. Teachers will be able to see the results of quizzes and will use this information to support you with reading at home with your child.

Your child must use this link below or else their login details will not work:

Maths Mastery learning packs for parents/guardians

Mathematics Mastery is a principle which takes the approach that children will develop deep understanding of concepts which will enable them to apply their learning in different situations. On this website you will find a large selection of learning packs for all year groups. Each session gives a chance for the children to talk and learn about mathematical concepts with an adult.
