Learning at home
The following is a list of links and information about how to access resources to support your child's learning at home. We hope that it's useful to you. For applications which require log-in details, please contact the school office.
Purple Mash (Reception to Year 6)
https://www.purplemash.com/sch/synergyschoolsfe
Purple Mash is an online platform that provides pupils with a wide range of interactive learning activities across a whole range of National Curriculum subjects. Teachers can assign these activities to your child, mark them and feedback. Each pupil has their own unique log in. These have been stuck into their homework diaries.
Microsoft Office 365 (Reception to Year 6)
Office365 is a suite of applications that provide each pupil with an opportunity to work online and collaborate with anyone across our federation. They have access to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook (email) and a whole host of other exciting but less well known tools like Teams, OneNote and Sway. All pupils have their own individual account and their login details can be found stuck into their homework diaries. Clearly, some of these apps are more useful for our older children but the vast majority of pupils have used Office365 in the classroom so far. To log in, go to the link above and click the sign in button.
