Home Learning

We are using Seesaw as our home learning platform and all children should have a code to access the platform. If you require a code, please get in touch with us. You will find links to useful websites with interactive games and educational resources below if you require additional material.

In the unlikely event of further bubble or school closures, we will also be providing daily lessons as before, that cover the curriculum.

Please click on the image below to log into Seesaw:

This section of the school website has also been dedicated to providing parents/carers with support with home learning, that may be taking place owing to the closure of the school or any bubble closures within the school. It is our aim, during the planned school calendar, for teachers to provide work on a daily basis. This will be accessible on the school’s online learning platform, Seesaw, and through a variety of live lessons, set activities, pre-recorded lessons and zoom sessions.

Online Resources

Epic Reading

There is Epic Reading which is an online reading resource for pupils. Each class teacher has set up an account for the class and you should have the logins for this. Your teachers will provide pupils with reading books that they would like them to read but they have a wealth of other reading material online which they can and should explore.

Note: Make sure you go to the student/educator section when logging in. If you are having problems logging onto your child’s account please let us know and we will do all we can to rectify this problem for you. 

Time Table Rock Stars / Numbots

Don’t forget the children in Y1 – Y6 have online logins for Times Table Rockstars which will assist with the learning of their Time Tables. From here you can also access Numbots which is Maths based and tackles addition, subtraction and number bonds.

Online Safety

Can we ask our parents to be vigilant during these times, especially with your children using technology on a daily basis for home learning. We are extremely confident that our pupils are aware of the dangers of the internet, how they should behave when using technology and know what they should do if they come across anything that is unsuitable on any website. We cover E-Safety each year at school and have regular updates throughout the year to ensure that our pupils are robust and safe. If you need any support with Online Safety and any issues that may arise during this time please see the following sites for support.
