Spellzone

A range of activities and games to practise a range of spelling rules and patterns.  Every year group is covered with National Curriculum words. When you click on the appropiate year group you are sent to a page that allows you to choose which aspects of spelling you wish to focus on. Click on the "Curriculum Word List". 

ICT Games

This site contains maths and English games for children.  It is probably more suitable for KS1 and early KS2 (Year 3 & 4), although Year 5 and 6 will find Spooky Spelling relevant to them. There are plenty of games to choose from and all will help your child's understanding.

Pobble 365

This site contains lots of stimulating pictures. There are 5 tasks for each picture displayed. Each day the children could click on the picture of the day and choose a task to complete. For an example week:

• Monday - Sentence Challenge
• Tuesday - Sick Sentences
• Wednesday - Question Time
• Thursday - Perfect Picture 
• Friday - Story Starter

All of these activities can be completed in the exercise book that school will provide. As long as the children write the date we would then be able to know which picture they had completed a task on.

Lexia (if applicable)

As parents you will be aware that your child can access Lexia at home. If you are having any issues please e-mail your child's class teacher (use the address above) for help. We would recommend that your child completes 20 - 30 minutes a day on Lexia.
