Online subscriptions

We have below some websites which the school has subscribed to.  If you don’t know your child’s password, then just ask your class teacher:

Bug Club

Bug Club is a digital reading service which our children access to develop comprehension and encourage a love of reading. It matches pupils with books at the right level and tracks performance across hundreds of print and digital books through expertly written comprehension quizzes.

It provides a motivating and friendly virtual environment where students have their own Reading Buddy to coach comprehension skills and where they can earn badges for working well.

Times Table Rockstars

Our Maths teachers know how fundamental times table recall speed is to success in maths lessons; yet it’s not always easy fitting in daily practice. Times Tables Rock Stars is a carefully sequenced programme of daily times tables practice which children can access independently at home.

All KS2 children have a login and password for Times Table Rockstars.  Please ask your child’s class teacher if you don’t know it.

Numbots

The aim of NumBots is to ensure children develop a core understanding of maths from an early age, establishing a strong mathematical foundation which they can build upon as they progress through their education..
