Home Learning
Please use this page to find links to online maths lessons and daily English and Maths tasks. Whilst your child is at home, they should aim to access online learning as often as possible and complete tasks in order to prevent falling behind with their learning. The activities are designed to cover the aspects of learning that your child would have accessed in school. It is important that the children keep up to date with learning so that when we are able to return to school, children are able to continue with their learning.
You do not need to print any worksheets off. Children can complete activities and write the answers in their yellow workbook, which was sent home in their yellow ‘Home Learning Pack’.
In addition, I recommend playing NumBots every day for about 15 minutes. This will support your child with their addition and subtraction skills. Please try to download the FREE app from the Apple or Google Play Store to make playing it even easier. Children have been given individual login details but please email [email protected] if you have any problems.
Don't forget to join our zoom sessions this week. The details of how to login to the sessions have been emailed out to you.

You will need: plain white paper and a pair of scissors.
In your geography work this week you have been learning all about weather. Do you think we will be lucky enough to get some snow soon?
Today we are going to learn how to make a snowflake out of paper. Snowflakes are unique, this means that they are all different and you will never see two that are the same. Your paper snowflake will not be like anyone else’s.
Here is Miss Melville's!
Click here to watch a tutorial on how to make a snowflake and then have a try at making your own.
Remember those tight fold lines and pinching fingers!
If you prefer, you can print off the template attached (Paper Snowflake) to try a different way to make a paper snowflake. Make more than one and display them in your window. Email over any photographs - I’d love to see them.
