Home Learning Resources

Hi Everyone,

Here is a roundup of some of the home learning resources that have been made available for free by celebrities whilst the schools are closed. They maybe a helpful starting point in building a daily routine, and there should be something there that most students would enjoy:

I hope you find these helpful,

Additional Home Learning Resources

Hi Everyone,

I thought I would let you know about a couple of free home learning resources that I have seen over the weekend, that I thought I would share with you all:

Audible have made a library of audio books available for free whilst the schools are closed. There are a range of titles from pre-school, to teen fiction and some literary classics. You don’t need an account, or a login, you can stream directly from a laptop/desktop, a tablet or a phone.

I hope they’re helpful.

Home Learning Tasks

Hi Everyone,

In addition to the tasks that we will continue to set as best as possible, here are some tasks that can be completed each day, or as and when you’d like:

Newsround:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround

They publish a short video news bulletin online every morning which is easy to watch and very informative. It’s a good way to keep informed on current events and interesting news stories.

The Newsround website is also very useful, with easy to read stories, short videos and quizzes. It might be good to explore it a little every day, as they update their content regularly.

Literacy Planet:

https://www.literacyplanet.com/uk/

We have a school subscription to this website, and logins have now been sent to all parents and carers. Students should complete tasks from the Quest section of the website. The games focus on skills relating to spelling, punctuation and grammar, and they should be adjusted to the level of the individual student.
