Don't forget to use Numbots on here....Click on Numbots logo and takes you to it.

It starts easy with mental recall and then gets harder as you go along the levels.

Maths

Children have been sent home login details for TTrockstars:

https://ttrockstars.com/

They have been set times tables to practice at least 3 times a week.

Along with this is the access to Numbots (using the same login). This helps improve recall of recognition of numbers, addition and subtraction facts as they progress through the levels.

White Rose Maths has daily math lessons across the year groups with videos to show children what to do. Please choose appropriate level for your child to support their learning.

Literacy

Please continue to read with your child. I have set up an online book to read that has different chapters with questions to answer. This is on Purplemash which the children use their welearn365.com login to access.

I have also put on their some games for grammar and spelling that they can complete.
