Home Learning

Of particular relevance in support of home learning are the following tools and resources:

Microsoft Teams

Teams is ideal for setting up a ‘Class Team’ for your pupils; this can be considered as a ‘virtual classroom space'. In Teams you can communicate with your pupils via chat and video conferencing and you can assign work to pupils (if you want to). It enables you share presentations, onscreen documents and files that you might have already prepared in school to deliver a lesson such as the Romans. This feature allows for instant chat and discussions based on the work you are presenting.

Please see the following video help guides for staff;

• Creating a Class Team

• Creating a teams video conference call from your Outlook calendar

If you receive a third party cookie error when trying to access Teams, as a workaround you can download the Teams App - please see link below;

For extended use of Teams, we would recommend use of the Teams App as it has more functionality such as blurring your background so others only focus on you rather than your surroundings.

Purple Mash

Purple Mash is an excellent online resource for your children and staff that can be used for online learning both at home and in school. It has a great many resources for Maths, Literacy, Computing, Science and cross curricular topics, as well as online games such as Toon Tables. It supports all areas of the curriculum including SPAG.
