Homework
Home Learning - Supplementary Activities
We would suggest when looking for additional activities for your child that you focus on:
a. Work that is similar in content to that already provided. This may be for instance a different spelling sheet containing the same words or Maths problems using the same level of number and/or number operation. In this way children won't become frustrated at attempting work that is not at their current level.
b. Choosing work from within their given Year Group (Y2 work for Y2 children) unless already discussed with the class teacher.
c. That your child may already have done enough of the basics such as writing, grammar, spelling and maths and would benefit from enriching the curriculum via Art, Science, Music, etc.
Oak National Academy
The government and the BBC have worked with a set of teachers to produce daily online lessons. These are not necessarily linked to the work we are tailoring for your children but can be used for additional learning. The Oaks National Academy website schedule can be found here.

Sumdog
Sumdog is not something the school has used but others have. Maths, reading and spelling activities for 5-11 year olds.
Teach Your Monster to Read
Teach Your Monster to Read is a super early reading programme/game. May be some in-app purchases on tablets later on but a super motivator recommended for F2 and Y1 that starts slowly but quickly learns what you can do.
Tiny Happy People
The BBC website Tiny Happy People has activity suggestions for children from 0 (yes 0!) through to 5 years old.
