Online Learning and Homework

All children have a login to Purple Mash and TT Rockstars. Homework and spellings will be shared on a Friday via Purple Mash to be completed by the following Thursday 

To keep children safe online they have been taught to keep their passwords and logins safe from others. 

Children can login to Purple Mash here and TT Rockstars here.

Reading Champions 

Your child will be bringing their reading book home in their book bag every night.  Please read with them as often as you can.  If your child reads at least 3 times a week, they will earn a ‘Reading Champion’ sticker and will work towards a termly reward with Mrs Coleman with all of the Reading Champions across Northmoor Academy!
