NOTE TO SCHOOLS SENDING POEMS. I'm very happy for schools to send us poems. But I do edit all poems - in the same way that poems would be edited in a book. This does take time - and so I would ask schools to limit the number of poems sent. If a school sends, say, 30 poems - one from every class member - I may have to choose a selection to appear in the Poetry Zone. Schools may, however, send as many poems as they would like for competitions..

Poo Poo Poo! Rude poems can be very funny but be warned - if you send us poems about farts, bottoms or poo they won't be appearing in the Poetry Zone. So please stop sending us rude poems.

And do please remember that all the poems you send should be your own original work. Meanwhile keep writing and sending us poems. We love to read them. Be careful and stay safe

To what extent does using MyMaths save teachers time?

An impact study was undertaken to understand 'To what extent does using MyMaths save teachers time?' It included interviews with 22 teachers across Primary and Secondary schools in England.

Chat, play, read!

Here are some tips and activities to help your child develop their speech skills:

use things your child is interested in for play, follow their lead and make sure you're physically at their level while playing

if you notice your child looking or pointing at something, talk to them about it before they lose interest in it

picture books introduce your child to new things they haven't seen yet in real life - ask them to tell you the story, or talk about what the characters might be thinking and feeling

make reading, singing and playing even more fun by using lots of actions and different voices

take turns to make noises or speak - your child will be able to hold longer conversations, so slow down your speech, give them plenty of time to respond and listen carefully to what they have to say

talk to your child in short, simple sentences, as it's easier for them to understand you and have a go at copying when they are ready

try to use the same book or sing the same song, as young children learn a lot from repetition

On-line resources to support home learning

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
We have brought together an initial list of online educational resources to help children to learn at home.

These websites have been identified by some of the country's leading educational experts and offer a wide range of support and resources for pupils of all ages.

The list includes subject-specific resources for:

They are currently being offered for free.

Individual resources cannot replace a school's properly planned curriculum, and the resources in this list are not intended to do so.

They may be useful for parents in considering how they could support their children's education, but they should not be used in place of existing resources which schools may be using as part of their continued provision for pupils' education at this time.

Schools may also wish to explore this initial list of resources as they consider how they continue to support children's education.

We will review and update the list over time. Details on how that will work will be provided in the coming weeks.

This list of resources is not exhaustive and there are many other resources available to schools.

Before using these resources, you should refer to the guidance ' Coronavirus (COVID-19): safeguarding in schools, colleges and other providers ', which has further information on how to keep children safe online.

English

This initial list of English resources is based on recommendations from English Hub schools and trusted teachers.

Reading, especially for primary age children, is critical to their educational development and something that families can do together.

Some publishers are making their catalogues available for free. Schools should check what is available for the books used in their schools.

English: primary

Phonics

Schools should seek advice from their phonics programme provider about resources that are available to support remote phonics learning at home. For example, Read Write Inc. (RWI) has made video content freely available online.

DfE's validated phonics programmes are:

However, some schools will use programmes not on this list.

English Hub schools are developing resources for schools that use Letters and Sounds.

Each #ThisIsPE video will focus on a different aspect of the National Curriculum. The videos, delivered by PE teachers, will help children and young people to continue their skill development in PE during this period when we are having to stay at home, to save lives.

Videos will be posted at 1pm on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday. You don't need to be in PE kit and you don't need sports equipment. All of the videos will use things that you can find around the home.

he closure of schools across the UK has left many parents and carers in the sudden, unexpected position of being home-school teachers. Schools are providing support where they can, but there are also still plenty of smartphone and tablet apps that can be used as part of learning.

It may be tricky to get some children to see these devices as good for more than TikTok, Fortnite and (adult) YouTube, but the positive side is that the best learning apps are interesting enough to - perhaps with an initial nudge - engage children. Here are 20 apps that may get parents off to a good start. The "younger children" apps are most suitable for preschool and early primary kids, while the "older children" apps are more for later primary and early secondary age.

For younger children

Go Explore from CBeebies

Khan Academy Kids

Montessori Preschool

Hopster

( Android/ Apple/ Amazon - subscription)
British company Hopster describes its app as "educational kids' TV". What that means is a collection of familiar cartoons and shows including the likes of Sesame Street, Bob the Builder, Thomas the Tank Engine, Fireman Sam and Pingu, accompanied by fun learning games on topics such as maths and phonics. It will even remind kids not to binge on too many episodes in a row. It costs £4.99 a month.

Teach Your Monster to Read

World of Peppa Pig

YouTube Kids

Mental Maths 5-6

( Apple - £3.99)
It's been out for a few years, but this is still one of the best maths apps for children that feels genuinely educational. It's built around a range of maths exercises and progress tests. Separate versions cover children up to the age of 11, and there's a spelling series, too.

Dr Seuss's ABC: AR Version

For older children

King of Maths: Maths Learner

Google Arts & Culture

Mimo

Elevate: Brain Training

( Android/ Apple - subscription)
Elevate is one of a clutch of quality brain-training apps (see also: Peak or Lumosity) full of mini-games designed to sharpen your memory, maths skills, focus and other mental skills. Like those other apps, it uses a subscription - £38.99 a year - but with a week's trial to test it out.

Simply Piano

Women Who Changed the World

Duolingo

Kahoot!

TED

Swift Playgrounds

( Apple - free)
Swift is Apple's own programming language, and Swift Playgrounds is its app for teaching people how to use it. It's for adults as well as children, but it's certainly accessible for the latter, with its lessons presented as coding puzzles that will give people the skills needed to start making their own apps and games. It's on Apple's iPad, but not (yet) its iPhone.
