How can we keep learning at home?

Children in Year 1-4 are set weekly home leanring by their class teacher. This includes the following:

* Reading - we expect children to read to an adult at home at least 4 times across each week.

* Spellings

* MyMaths

* Prepare and Share English work

Teachers may from time to time tasks on one of the following online platforms. These will also be used in the event of school being closed to a class following a Covid related concern. Full details will be communicated to parents/carers via Tapestry or Class Dojo.

Parents of children in Team Woodland, please remember that Tapestry is a wonderful way for your child and their teachers to stay in touch. We would love to see your photos and stories about learning at home.

Mixed resources and Computing Skills

Each child in the school has a unique Busy Things login. Details are stuck in their Reading Record book. Please keep these login details safe and do not share them.

Reading and Phonics

We have created Oxford Owl year group login pages as follows. Please click on 'My class login' on the top right. The password for all groups is poppy

Reception username: hilltop yr Year 1 username: hilltop y1 Year 2 username: hilltop y2

Year 3 username: hilltop y3 Year 4 username: hilltop y4

Choose the most appropriate age range to access a selection of fiction and non fiction books. It would be great if children could keep a list of books that hey have read. Older children should be encouraged to write a sentence or two about what they have read in their home school reading diary.

There is a parent link on the login page which will take you to lots of useful links including age appropriate Maths Activities.

Pupils in Year 1-4 have personal logins for Serial Mash. These are stuck in their Reading Record Books. Pupils will be set specific texts and tasks to complete in school or at home from time to time.

Each child in Nursery to Year 2 has a Letterland login. Children in Team Enchantment have these stuck inside their home reading diary. Children in Team Woodland will receive these logins once their class Phonic lesson are established and the staff feel that all children are confident in navigating the online resource independently. Please do not share your child's login details.
