A guide to our Digital Home Learning Resources and direct links can be found below.

These are intended to be used online at home and may need an additional log-in provided by school, such as Times Tables Rock Stars, Spelling Shed and Maths Shed. Teachers can view the children's progress and on some platforms it is possible to connect with other children in these games.

We have arranged for free access to NumBots (https://play.numbots.com)from the creators of Times Tables Rock Stars. Children need to use the same log-in details they have been given for TTRS. This home learning resource helps support our children's maths education and is great for boosting addition and subtraction skills. Playing little and often, will significantly improve your child's recall and understanding of number bonds and addition/subtractions facts, which are critical foundations in maths. The NumBots App is available at the Apple Store and Google Play Store, to enable children to play on mobiles and tablets.
