Home Learning

Home Learning Pack -Week beginning 23rd March 2020 & Week beginning 30th March 2020

Children have been provided with a paper based learning pack to cover the first 2 weeks of home learning. This pack includes the following;
- Daily timetable
- Worksheets & answers (Children can self mark or an adult can mark alongside the child)
- Individual logins to allow children to access websites that we subcribe to (see links below)
- Grids with suggested activities for topic based work.

When children return to home learning after their two week Easter break, they can access the following as a starting point for basic core learning. You may wish to share their activities on our Twitter platform. If you wish to do more, our none screen activites, online lessons and home learning pack links are particularly useful.

Physical Activity
The Body Coach (Joe Wicks) is a fantastic resource and can be accessed each day but any physical activity will prove beneficial.

Children were provided with a login to access the pupil area of our school website in their home learning packs. Here, childen can make a wiki about a topic of interest or blog about their home learning. At the moment, we will not be setting online homework in this area as this webpage details all online learning.
