At South Bersted Church of England Primary School, we strongly believe in building positive working relationships and working collaboratively to provide your child with the best education. To support your child’s progress we have selected a range of interactive games which can be found by visiting the Kid’s Zone.
Links to Spelling Shed, Numbots and Times Tables Rock Stars can also be found in the maths and grammar sections.
You will also find links to your child’s creative learning topic in the history, geography and science tiles.
In addition to this, by clicking the tabs on the right hand side you will also find links to your child’s Keys to Success and our reading bookmarks for each year group.
Home Learning Expectations:
Regularly completing home learning can support improved progress by up to 3 months per academic year.
Each Friday, pupils will receive their home learning with the expectation that it is handed in no later than Wednesday. Each week, pupils will receive a maths task, spellings and reading. There is also an expectation that your child will participate in the Times Table Rock Stars Battle or Numbots.
Pupils in Key Stage 1, will receive their home learning via Class Dojo.
Pupils in Key Stage 2, will receive their home learning via Google Classroom.
In Years 2 – 6, children receive 10 spellings each week and in Year 1 they will receive 6. All children are tested on their words on a Wednesday or Thursday.
Reading
As a school, we recognise the importance of daily reading and encourage all children to read regularly. Reading for 20 minutes a day can develop a child’s vocabulary by 1,800,00 words!
When listening to your child read, please write in their Reading Record. To support you in asking age appropriate questions, please use your child’s South Bersted Reading Book Mark. You can find recommended books on our Reading Suggestions page.
Pupils in Key Stage 2, also have access to Accelerated Reader

Spellings
As a school we used Spelling Shed to support our teaching of spelling. Classes have spellings matched to their stage of learning. These spellings are set on a Friday and tested on a Wednesday. Children will complete activities in class to support their learning but children are expected to log onto spelling shed and complete the online games to practise and secure their knowledge. Children can access the games via the Spelling Shed website: https://www.spellingshed.com/
How will my child access remote learning in the event of a closure/isolation?:
In the event an individual child, a class bubble, or indeed the whole school need to self-isolate for a period of time, we have a plan in place for remote learning so that all children can continue with their education. Please click on the link below for more details regarding our remote learning procedures:
Creative Home Learning Projects:
Every two weeks, a whole school challenge will be set. This challenge is often linked to whole school, local or national events. This will be set via the school’s newsletter.
