Free resources websites

Hello there, Parents and Carers!

As schools worldwide close for now in response to COVID-19, you might be wondering how best to help your child or children with their studies at home.

 

Always happy to help, the White Rose Maths Team has prepared a series of five brand new maths lessons for each year group from Years 1-8. Every lesson comes with a short video showing you clearly and simply how to help your child to complete the activity successfully.

French

Here is a link to the free website which has some great online tutorials, games and tests for children to reinforce and enhance their French learning:

 

https://www.french-games.net/

 

Class 4's relevant topics are People -Clothes 1 and People -Clothes 2

 

The children have already had a go at playing some of the games during a French lesson so are familiar with the layout, which is pretty straight forward.  The menu bar across the top gives all of the options.
