Home Learning at Westdene
Home learning activities are set by class teachers on a weekly or fortnightly basis. Home learning varies by year group but usually involves weekly spellings, daily reading and a maths, literacy or topic-based activity.
Below is a list of the online services that we subscribe to, to support your child's progress in learning:
👩🏫 Google Classroom (Y1 - Y6)
Google Classroom is our online learning platform. It is accessed in a web browser (Google Chrome recommended) or using the Google Classroom app (recommended for any pupils using smartphones or tablets).
Every child has a username and password provided by the school. The children are taught how to use Google Classroom during autumn term computing lessons. We also use Google Classroom for many lesson activities and for home learning in some year groups.
We have created a Google Classroom Help Page to support parents and pupils.
