Home Learning Links

Welcome to our Learn at Home Google Site.   This is a source you can go to   - to help with online learning.  The activities in here are all optional - but will give you lots of ideas with activities and online apps that can help with learning.  Some of these online pages have costs - but due to Coronavirus many are free at the moment or offering 30 days free trial.  There are further links in Religious Education, Maths, Reading ,Writing and Other if you want more ideas - but realistically just doing what is assigned by the teacher is sufficient.  Please keep in touch with the teacher - remember everything we are giving you is a guideline only - you need to feel comfortable!  Don't overdo it and make the learning too stressful for both you and your child. 

Everything else is optional!  So have fun :)
