Home learning resources

  • White Rose Maths home learning: https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/   ‘The White Rose Maths team has prepared a series of five maths lessons for each year group from Y1-Y8.  We will be adding five more each week for the next few weeks.  Every lesson comes with a short video showing you clearly and simply how to help your child to complete the activity successfully.’
  • UCL Institute of Education: free online learning resources   ‘We have compiled a list of resources helpful to teachers, school leaders, parents/carers and young people.  All of these resources are either free/have been made free during the period of school closures.’
PSHE
In our weekly PSHE lessons we follow the Jigsaw scheme of work. Here is a link to two Jigsaw PSHE stories that the children might like to listen to at home. There are also additional activities that you can do as a family including a Calm Me session that might be particularly useful.’
