The school subscribes to a number of online learning resources which can be accessed at home. It is essential that children and parents have access to the relevant login details during Lockdown. The login details will be sent home inside the ‘remote learning pack’.

​

Login details that should be included are:

• Google Classroom

• Math Whizz 

• Bug Club (reading)

• Purple Mash (a variety of different subjects)

​

 

Google Classroom

​

Every child  will be provided with a Google Classroom login. Activities will be posted to Google Classroom as well as daily live lessons.  Once learning activities are uploaded by a teacher they can be completed by pupils from home. Teachers can then provide feedback directly to pupils.

​

We would like to inform parents/carers that Google classroom will show the names of the other children in your child’s class when they login. 

​

Maths Whizz

​

Maths Whizz is an online maths tutor. It is adaptive and changes to reflect the knowledge and needs of each individual user. It guides pupils through an individualised learning journey that stimulates the behaviour of a human tutor. 

​

Bug Club

​

Bug Club is a literacy program designed to support the effective and engaging teaching of reading for primary students in Reception to Year 6.

Bug Club readers include popular children's characters from titles such as Wallace and Gromit, Angelina Ballerina, Shaun the Sheep, Doctor Who, Star Wars and Casper to keep pupils engaged.

​

Digital books will be assigned to pupils by their teacher and feature automatically marked quizzes linked to comprehension skills which assess pupils’ understanding of the content.

​

Purple Mash 

 

This is an online portal containing many activities for a full range of subjects. Each child has their own login and teachers can set tasks for the children. When children complete a task on Purple Mash they can submit it to their teacher who can comment on it.
