Remote / Online Learning
There are some fantastic online resources to support your child’s learning. Some of these are free and some the school subscribes to.
Phonics Play
Phonics Play has a range of games to support your child.
There are also some fun comics for the children to read here.
Spelling Shed is a simple, fun web-game that is playable through any internet browser on phones, tablets or computers. Each week, pupils will be assigned a spelling rule that they have been focussing on in class. Pupils can also select ‘More Lists’ if they would like to revisit past assignments.
To ensure your child is given a level of challenge appropriate to them, they can choose from four levels of difficulty. The game is also designed to be dyslexic-friendly.
• Easy – The word is shown, an audio clip is played, and only the included letters are shown.
• Medium – An audio clip is played, and only the included letters are shown.
• Hard – An audio clip is played and the included letters, plus some random letters are shown.
• Extreme – An audio clip is played and a full qwerty keyboard is shown. Letters must be correctly accented and capitalised.
All users have an avatar that can be personalised by using honeypots. Honeypots are earned by spelling words correctly. Pupils can also keep track of how Waterbeach Community Primary School’s score ranks against other schools in the country, as well as how their total lines up with other pupils in our school.
Your child will have their own login.
Oak Academy has a wide range of learning resources.
These can be used if your child is unable to attend school for any reason but is well enough to access online learning.
