Home Learning

Home Learning Information

Dear Parents/Carers and students,

As you are aware, the Academy is now closed in line with government advice.

All students in the Academy are expected to work at home during this period of time, in order to embed their learning in preparation for when the Academy can re-open.

Class teachers are following the Home Learning Timetable below to set work for classes on the specified day in each year group. We recommend that this timetable provides a structure to your son/daughter's day, although this is for guidance only. Most work set is accessible on a Smartphone or tablet device.

Tasks will be set by teachers via email to your son/daughter's Academy email address.

Email can be accessed through the Academy website home page in the "remote working" link to webmail at the bottom of the page.

The username for each students is forename.surname@oasislordshill.org
The password is the same password used to log into a computer at the Academy.

If your household has no ICT access (Broadband/Wifi) the Academy can provide a printed workpack of work.

If you have any enquiries about home learning, or need to request a printed workpack, please email info@oasislordshill.org

Reading ideas for students Year 7 to Year 10

Here is a list of online reading resources and activities – you might like to look at some of them. Please remember – this is NOT homework, it is just a list of sites that you might like to explore, to help with all areas of reading and English skills.

1. https://www.worldofdavidwalliams.com/elevenses/ Listen to one of David’s fantastic stories, every day at 11am, read by David himself.

2. https://etc.usf.edu/lit2go/books/ This is an American site, so mostly American books, and there are some great ones, so give it a go. It seems to be mostly excerpts rather than the whole book, but a great way to dip into different stories and writers.

3. http://www.loyalbooks.com/ A great way to explore different books – lots of classics: Shakespeare, Dickens, poetry, Thomas Hardy, HG Wells.

4. https://live.firstnews.co.uk/ First News is great: it’s a newspaper for young people. For now though you can subscribe to it online for free. Go to the site, click on ‘subscribe’ and set up your account. There is loads of stuff on there – I love it!

5. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize There is a wealth of information and activities on BBC Bitesize, and coming soon are:

Daily lessons coming in April on BBC Bitesize ….

Beginning Monday 20 April, BBC Bitesize will publish daily online lessons for all ages. We'll also have a new dedicated TV channel full of learning content, podcasts on BBC Sounds and loads of educational video on iPlayer Go on to the site to learn more!

Remember!

Do not ‘sign up’ for anything (except First News) – certainly not without your parents’ permission, and certainly nothing requiring payment.

If you listen to an audio book/excerpt (e.g. on a kindle, or on one of the sites), why not check out the AR level by going to www.arbookfind.co.uk. Even though you cannot do book quizzes at the moment, it’s nice to know what level book you are reading/listening to. Make a note if you like so that we can talk about it when we’re all back together.

Most of all please remember……..you are all remarkable and I certainly miss seeing you every day.

Stay safe, stay well, look after each other.
