In the event of your child needing to self-isolate or quarantine in accordance with Covid-19 guidance, we would encourage the completion of suitable home learning activities where you child is well enough to do so. These include maintaining key English and Maths skills, such as reading, handwriting, spelling, times tables and calculation practice. Children can also complete topic linked activities either from the home learning ideas for the term, or from additional topic based guidance, which can be found below:

As part of our Cornerstones approach to Curriculum, each term pupils across the school are encouraged to select and carry out tasks from the suggested list of project related activities for home learning. 

Evidence of the tasks undertaken can be sent into school in whatever means is most appropriate, whether bringing in your finished products, taking photos or writing about your activities and experiences.  You can also use Seesaw, our online Learning platform, to upload and share your Home Learning with your class teacher.

In addition, pupils will benefit from continuing to:

• Read on a daily basis, including a wide and varied range of non-fiction texts as well as stories.
• Practice times tables - you should be quick and confidence with all times tables to 12 x 12.  Remember to also practice the associated division facts.  This can be done using your login for Times Table Rock Stars.
• Practice spellings - this can either be from our taught spelling each week in class (please see our Spellings page), or your own selection from the Year 3&4 and 5&6 statutory word lists, which can also be found on our Spellings page.
• Carry out additional research around our topic learning.  This can be carried out using information from the internet, the library, books you may have at home, or information told to you by other people.  It can be recorded and communicated in many suitable ways, but should always be presented in our own words (not directly copied).

Should you wish to carry out further practice of lessons already taught in school, or try to address gaps or confusions in your learning, you will find lots of helpful resourcing on the government recommended home learning sites:
