Home Learning

HOME LEARNING - AT YOUR OWN PACE

In addition to your regular work with your teacher, these websites provide access to exciting and useful activities and information for additional home learning. They bridge curriculum areas and are suitable to embed learning already done in school, as well as providing support for learning new concepts.

There is a possibility that there will be advertising on some of these sites, so please parents, have a look at them first, with your child if you wish, and decide which ones suit you best. Partnership between parent and child in home learning is essential, so that you can support your child to find a level that both suits and challenges them. And of course, there are lots of opportunities for pupils to have independent learning time on these sites.

On our Google Classroom class pages, teachers provide links to year specific resources and sites, but these are generally useful primary focussed links. Please have a look through these if you are wanting to find additional learning and reinforcement activities for home.
