Home Learning

“You can’t teach people everything they need to know.

The best thing you can do is position them where they can find what they need to know, when they need to know it.”

Seymour Papert

Home Learning and School Learning Go Hand in Hand

At Loxley Primary School, we believe that learning is very much a partnership between home and school; during normal circumstances, a child spends approximately 900 hours in school and over 5000 waking hours at home. We appreciate and value all that you do at home to work in partnership with the learning done at school. At Loxley, we very much believe that it is a team effort! As a school, we use the Seesaw interactive learning platform. This can be simply for assigning and recording homework, but has been used efficiently to deliver whole year group curricula in past lockdowns.

For a flavour of some of the previous home learning we have done over lockdown periods, please click on the link below and scroll to the bottom of ‘Our Curriculum Overview’ page.

Remote Learning

If you would like more information about what to expect in terms of remote education provision if your child, the school or cohort have to remain at home, please read the document below.

Remote Education Summary

Here are some of the ways that we kept in touch with our school community during lockdown and found new ways of learning during the challenging times of 2020 - 21.

Learning Websites

We use a number of different websites either in school or at home. Here is a brief description of the learning websites we use.

Education City

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Times Tables Rockstars

Times Tables Rock Stars

Times Tables Rock Stars is a carefully sequenced programme of daily times tables practice.

Numbots

The aim of Numbots is for pupils to use efficient mental calculation strategies to add and subtract two-digit numbers, so that they can leave counting on their fingers behind!

Hit The Button

Hit the Button is an interactive maths game with quick fire questions on number bonds, times tables, doubling and halving, multiples, division facts and square numbers. The games which are against the clock challenge and develop a child's mental maths skills.
