If pupils have access to a phone, computer or tablet with internet access at home, then there are a lot of web sites with resources and activities which can support learning.\u00a0 Some are general in nature however many are tailored to the curriculum offered in school.<\/p>\n<p>Children have all been given their personalised login details for Glow, Big Maths, and in many cases, IDL or Nessy. Class teachers may use Microsoft Teams (accessed through Glow) to provide assignments for their pupils. Please see our Digital Support section for more details of how to access Glow.<\/p>\n<p>A number of sites will provide high quality, appropriate educational resources and activities.\u00a0 BBC, Channel 4 and Education Scotland websites provide very good materials for revision and learning. For learners of all ages the North Lanarkshire Education Computer Centre website has a number of links for different subjects.\u00a0 BBC Scotland&#8217;s Learning Scotland site provides an in-depth coverage of the Scottish curriculum and Channel 4 has their own informative learning site.\u00a0 Please see below.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/education.gov.scot\/\">Education Scotland<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/scotland\/learning\/\">BBC Learning Scotland<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/education\/highlights\">BBC Schools<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/education\">BBC Bitesize Revision Resources<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.channel4learning.com\/\">Channel 4 Learning<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/education.gov.scot\/parentzone\/learning-at-home\/supporting-numeracy\/Introduction%20to%20supporting%20numeracy?dm_i=LQE,4YSQV,OIIK92,IVVNS,1\">I am a Mathematician<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/education.gov.scot\/parentzone\/learning-at-home\/supporting-numeracy\/Numeracy%20and%20mathematics%20glossary?dm_i=LQE,4YSQV,OIIK92,IVVNS,1\">Numeracy and mathematics glossary<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/glowhelp.wikis.glowscotland.org.uk\/Microsoft+Office+2016+Downloads?dm_i=LQE%2C4YSQV%2COIIK92%2CIWEA6%2C1\">Download Microsoft Office for FREE<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Further useful resources:-<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>P 1-3 might find the following links useful:-<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Literacy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ictgames.com\/phonemePopLS_v2.html\">Phoneme Pop<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.starfall.com\/n\/level-a\/learn-to-read\/play.htm?f\">Starfall<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/schools\/magickey\/\">Oxford Reading Tree Adventures<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/cbeebies\/stories\">CBeebies Stories<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.readwritecount.scot\/?dm_i=LQE%2C4RUEM%2COIIK92%2CHY0CI%2C1\">Read, Write, Count<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Numeracy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ictgames.com\/save_the_whale_v4.html\">Number Bonds<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ictgames.com\/funkymum.html\">Addition<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/schools\/numbertime\/games\/find_the.shtml\">Find the number<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Other<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/education\/clips\/zmnb9j6\">Edinburgh Castle<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/terrificscientific?dm_i=LQE,4RUEM,OIIK92,HY01Q,1\">Terrific Scientific<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>P\u00a04-7 might find the following links useful:-<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Literacy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.studyladder.co.uk\/?lc_set=\">Studyladder<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spellingcity.com\/\">Spelling City<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Numeracy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.coolmath-games.com\/\">Cool Maths<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fuelthebrain.com\/\">Fuel the Brain<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mathsframe.co.uk\/\">Maths Frame<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.primaryinteractive.co.uk\/maths.htm\">Primary Interactive Maths<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/primarygamesarena.com\/Subjects\/Maths\">Primary Game<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Other<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/lifestyle.howstuffworks.com\/family\/activities\/outdoor\/snow-activities5.htm\">Snowflake Science<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/britton.disted.camosun.bc.ca\/snow\/science.html\">Snow Science<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.weatherwizkids.com\/weather-winter-storms.htm\">Weather Wizkids<\/a> Write a report about snow.
