Home Learning
Parents are encouraged to read with their children every day and books are regularly taken home. In addition to this, teachers set a weekly home learning task for the children to complete. This can be accessed via your child’s Class Blog on the school website. Home learning tasks are set on a Thursday and submitted (where appropriate) the following Monday. Key Stage 2 children are given a home learning book to complete tasks in.
At Holbeach, we also have some fantastic online resources that are available to use at home. Your child has logins for all these programs, which will support their learning.

Make learning Times Tables fun. Times Table Rock Stars allows children to create a rock star character, practise their times tables and the corresponding division facts and ‘buy’ things for their rock star.
Since the success of Times Tables Rockstars in encouraging children to master times table and division fact instant recall, we would like their skills with mental addition and subtraction to be just as good. NumBots will help! All children start at the same place in Story mode, and when they get to a certain stage they will unlock Challenge mode.
** To use NumBots just use your Rockstars Username and Password to login **

Remote Learning
Holbeach Primary School is committed to providing continuity of education for all its pupils in the event of a partial or whole school closure. While such situations are inevitably highly varied in their causes and ramifications, we will endeavour to provide continued learning for our students during any period of closure.
When a Class would switch to Remote Learning:
• An extended period of school closure
• Pupils unable to attend school due to the fact that they are self-isolating because they or a family member has a confirmed case of Coronavirus
When an individual would receive Remote Learning:
If the vast majority school remains open and working as normal, but an individual student is unable to attend lessons as normal for a period of between 3 and 10 school days but is otherwise well and able to work (e.g. a period of advised self-isolation or an absence that has been authorised by the school in advance) the school will provide:
- An English task for each day of the absence
- A Maths task for each day of the absence
- A research project with a range of tasks to choose from each day
These tasks will be shared with parents in hardcopy paper format which will either be collected by one parent/carer or delivered to the family home by a member of staff.
Our Remote Learning policy does not apply in situations such as:
- A student who is unable to attend school due to being unwell.
- A student who absents themselves from school without prior authorisation from the school, with or without parental permission, e.g. a family holiday taken in term time.
Please look through the agreements for Remote Learning below.
In the event of a partial or whole school closure the children will be taught via Microsoft Teams. It allows your child to complete work and see work set by their teachers. Click here to download ‘Teams’
