Learning from home

Here are a selection of websites with further ideas for each subject that the teachers at CKJS have selected for you to have at look at (please note we are not responsible for any external content).

These are some useful websites that host activities for all areas of the curriculum.

The Oak National Academy was developed during lockdown and has a huge range of video lessons for every year group. Go to Classrooms, choose your child's year group and the subject you would like them to do.

READING

Encouraging your child to read every day is a great way to keep them engaged.

They could read their book from the library (linked to our Author Tube Map); or any book which they are currently enjoying from school or home.

Talk about their reading using these Reading at Home Bookmarks, with question stems linked to the VIPERS which we use in school.

Alternatively, there are many e-books available on the Oxford Owl website.

You could also head over every day for free audio stories from The World of David Walliams.

The children also have access to the Purple Mash website using their logins which were given to them before half term. On their home page, they have a Serial Mash section with many more e-books available.

MATHS

The children can continue to use their logins for Times Tables Rockstars to practise their times tables knowledge and challenge each other on the many activities available.

As well as practising times tables on TT Rockstars, they can also now use their Rockstars login details to practise number bonds on Numbot to help keep all their maths skills sharp!

They can also practice other mathematical skills on the Top Marks website.

In addition, there is also the Maths Aids website where you can make your own worksheets to practice a wide variety of different mathematical skills.

WRITING

The resources for the BBC 500 Words challenge are still available - there is a Live Lesson where three well-known authors give their top-tips and advice about writing. Although the challenge deadline itself may have passed, this is a great way to get into writing a story with some resources available to support it.

There are plenty more ways to keep your pens and pencils busy writing here.
