Learning from Home
Please find below a selection of websites that you may wish to explore with your child during any period of self-isolation or enforced home learning. Here they can revise work done in school, learn a new skill and explore museums of the world!
Why not encourage your child to keep note of any website they have visited, write about what they liked/disliked about it, what it helped them to learn, and perhaps give it a score out of 10?
Simply click the below links to access the relevant sites. The website full address is then noted under the direct link for us on desktop computers.
www.khanacademy.com
Especially good for maths and computing for all ages but other subjects at Secondary level. Note this uses the U.S. grade system but it’s mostly common material.
