Learning from Home<\/strong><\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n

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?<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
