Online Learning

All chidlren have a login to Purple Mash, TT Rockstars and Accelerated Reader. Homework will often be set on these websites. To keep children safe online they have been taught to keep their passwords and logins safe from others.

At home you can help your child by…

Encouraging them to read every day and talking to them about what they have read; helping them to learn multiplication tables; making sure they have completed their homework rubric (link below) to a good standard; learn to spell the words on the Year 5 and 6 list; talk to your children about what they have been learning in school.

Home Learning should take place every week…

Please encourage your child to use their ipad at home every day to access: myON, Accelerated Reader, TT Rockstars, Purple Mash and to complete their homework rubrics. iPads must be brought to school, fully charged, every single day.
