Mathletics
Mathletics is the digital home learning resource that we use at Heathbrook for each child in Reception to Year 6 to consolidate the maths learning that is taking place in class. It is proven to significantly improve levels of attainment and progress. Year 6 pupils need to complete 10 activities a week. The activities are set every Friday and pupils have one week to complete them.
Pupils can access Mathletics via computers, tablets and smartphones.
Ongoing Learning
Reading – All pupils will read with an adult in school at least once a week. Year 6 pupils are expected to read at home for at least 25 minutes a day – 5 times a week. Pupils need to arrive at school each day with their reading records and reading books.
PE – We have PE on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons. Tuesday will be general fitness skills whilst Wednesday will be lacrosse.
