Home Learning 2020 – 2021 | Holmston Primary School

Here you find a selection of work related to the curriculum for you and your child to work on at home. That you can use if your child is self-isolating.

The work is divided into general tasks and ideas by curriculum area then further information for specific year groups. Answers are provided where appropriate so that you can mark the work. Please also look through the useful links page for further ideas (especially the Harry Potter at Home link!).

In the Maths section you will see links to video lessons from White Rose, NCETM and Mr. Morrow. These are provided to support you and your child in covering aspects of the maths curriculum. There is also a link to online resources for Maths. These will be needed for some of the maths booklets and include online Diennes blocks and counter. This is on the Mathsbot website.

In the Literacy and English section, you will find a link to all the Talk 4 Writing home booklets.

Please note many of these sites refer to the English education system:
Year R or Reception = P1
Year 1 = P2
Year 2 = P3
Year 3 = P4
