Maths Home Learning

The children will be assigned homework each week using one of the following three apps:White Rose 1-Minute Maths is free. You can access 1 Minute Maths either on a web browser or download the app on to a suitable device. Please click on the White Rose Icon (left) to access the web browser page. The app is available on the App Store, Google Play and Amazon Kindle. White Rose 1-Minute Maths can also be accessed via desktop using a three-word code, which changes each week. This will be provided in the weekly newsletter every Friday for the following week.

The overview of maths homework can be found on the red year group buttons below. Each week, a reminder of the homework set will also be added to Google Classroom.

The homework set through Purple Mash and Busy Things can be completed at any point during the week. If the homework set is a White Rose 1-Minute Maths activity, these activities are designed to be short one minute bursts therefore the expectation is that your child completes this activity several times over the course of the week. Additionally, we will also be providing a link each week to a video made available by White Rose Maths. We encourage you to watch this video each week with your child, as it will help to explain some of the learning taking place in the classroom and we hope it will provide you with the information needed to be able to support your child in their learning.

Google Classroom

Home learning is uploaded onto Google Classrooms.

Each child is expected to complete tasks set by the class teacher posted each week.

Please note it is still the responsibility of parents to monitor what children are accessing online at home. We will continue to teach children the importance of being responsible digital citizens and accessing age appropriate material and we appreciate parents supporting this at home with their children.

How Google Classroom Is Used

Google Classroom has been organised into topics so that it is easy for your child to find the correct home learning.
