There are many useful resources on twinkl that they have now made free for a month. Please use the following link to sign up using the free access code:  UKTWINKLHELPS

Twinkl have put together a free resource pack for children learning at home. When you have signed up please follow this link:

English

We recommend the following website for reading quality books online – you can sign up as a family for free.

Maths

Don’t forget the school also subscribes to mathletics and your child has been provided with a log-in. We will set suitable work and your child is also free to explore the site when they have done this work. You can follow this link:

We have signed the children up for a Times Tables Rock Stars and Numbots account.

Spanish

Children can access language Spanish work using Language Angels. They can log in using their class name (waterloo or blackfriars) and the password howard. Please click on the green Pupil Games Area link. The children are currently following the Frutas topic but can also access all other topics studied this year.

Physical activity

We are recommending children to continue with physical activity whilst they are off school. The Body Coach (Joe Wicks) has lots of workout videos on his YouTube channel – a section specifically for children’s workouts at home. Next week (starting 23.03.2010) he will be holding live P.E classes on his YouTube channel aimed at children every morning starting at 9am.

‘It’s a 30 minute session for little kids right up to secondary school to get involved and have fun. We’re going to be doing loads of basic exercises, you don’t need a lot of room.’
