Live Lessons
We are pleased to be able to offer all children who are at home the opportunity to participate in live lessons every day. These lessons will be delivered by your child’s class teacher wherever possible.
EYFS children will participate in a live phonics lesson and a story time. In addition, over the coming weeks we’ll be adding in a live Maths lesson. Miss Corney will let you know the times through Class Dojo.
KS1 and KS2 children (those in Mrs Thompson’s, Mrs Turnbulls’ and Miss Wells’ class) will have one English, one Maths and one topic lesson a day. Again, the teachers will let you know via Class Dojo what time these will be.
In addition, your child will be set one task per day which they will be asked to complete independently. Children in KS1 are expected to have lessons/study for 3 hours a day and children in KS2 are asked to complete 4 hours a day. This is in line with the latest governmental guidance.
Hopefully, by offering these live lessons, we have taken a lot of pressure off working parents and those of you who are trying to manage more than one child at a time.
Before each lesson starts:
- Please make that your child has been to the toilet and has a drink with them.
- Please make sure they have their work book and something to write with. We will let you know if they need extra materials such as crayons/felt tips but we’ll try to limit this as much as we can.
- Please make sure they are able to log on to the lesson and that they know how to mute/unmute
- If they have a sheet to complete, please make sure you’ve checked on Class Dojo that you can find the resources before the lesson.
- We don’t expect you to sit with your child, particularly if they are in KS2 but please make sure they behave appropriately and participate as much as they can.
Year group expectations
Here are the key skills your child would have been learning if they had been in school. As much as possible, we are trying to keep the curriculum running as we would have done but have adapted one or two subjects slightly to support home learning.

This is the website we use in school to teach handwriting. We have sent out the school code – please ask your child’s teacher if you need a reminder. It can be played on a tablet or compter, as well as having access to worksheets.
Please continue to encourage your child to practise their spellings using this website. If there is enough interest we may set up some weekly hive games so your child can play against other children in his/her year group.
This is a good website to support your child with writing. There is a different picture stimulus every day, with a number of questions to support reading comprehension. It is suitable for KS1 and KS2 children.
This is a very similiar website with some good pictures to act as prompts for writing too.

We use the White Rose Maths Hub at school and they have produced a number of videos to support home learning too. Please use this website as a starting point.

It is really important that children leave primary school knowing all of their times tables. We have purchased a subscription to TT Rockstars and we recommend children in Year 2 upwards use it.
Although this is an American website, it has some great games and manipulatives (objects used for supporting your child in the early stages of Maths)
Quite a few of you used our Numberstacks packs in the first lock down. It is a great resource for developing mathematical understanding, from Year R to Year 6. Here’s a link to some of the games on the site.

Videos to support with PE at home
The children love these videos in school – they may be worth a try at home too. Suitable for all ages.
