Long Term
Learning Resources
Here are a few suggested learning resources that the children can access at home:
Maths
An online version of the numbers game from Countdown. There is no timer so the children can practise using their number knowledge in a fun way.
A great resource which can help to improve the speed of calculations and knowledge of their times tables.

This is a great resource for recapping your mathematical knowledge. Mr Brett's favourite page is the puzzle page.

This website is particularly good for checking mathematical processes as it contains a large number of video explanations and examples.
A fantastic resource for practising techniques used in the SATs arithmetic paper.
We have a new subscription to Times Tables Rockstars which will help to improve tables skills. We hope you like it as much as we do!
English
A great resource for practising some of the more tricky aspects of Year Six S.P.A.G.

On Education City, children can access a range of activities linked to the English Curriculum.
If you are ever stuck for what to read, or want to get into a new author, then this is a great website which allows you to read extracts from a range of authors.
