BBC Bitesize (https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize)
There are two elements to this:
Bitesize Daily Lessons
The newly-expanded Bitesize website will offer daily lessons in all core subjects, tailored for
every age group from Year 1 to Year 10. The lessons will draw on the best of our existing BBC
Bitesize and BBC Teach content, with activities and input from the broader education sector
who have generously thrown their weight behind our work.
The Bitesize website will offer a newly-created maths and English lesson for each year group
every day, as well as a lesson in another curriculum topic.
To access the schedule and get an overview for each year group for this week, please follow
this link.
To access the daily lessons for this week, please follow this link and then select the relevant
year group.
Bitesize Daily on iPlayer

Bitesize Daily programmes - 20-minute shows each designed to target a specific age group
    (KS1, LKS2, UKS2, Y7, Y8 & Y9 - will be available on BBC iPlayer, on any device, and on TV
    via the Red Button. They contain a maths, English and another subject focus in each episode.
    The lessons have been designed in consultation with teachers and education experts and will
    be presented by teachers, experts and by well-known BBC faces, including Karim Zeroual and
    Katie Thistleton. There will be some subject-specialist presenters too, for example, Bobby
    Seagull and Rachel Riley for maths, and Matt Barton for English.

    NCETM Daily Lessons https://www.ncetm.org.uk/resources/54454
    A series of short videos have been produced to provide primary school pupils with interactive
    mathematic lessons while they are at home. All these lessons have been planned
    collaboratively by the NCETM’s primary team and a group of Maths Hubs Mastery Specialists.
    Teachers can choose how regularly they set them, but it is important that, within each batch,
    they are set in the suggested order. Most lessons are 15 to 20 minutes long, each ending with
    suggested follow-up tasks. All lessons exemplify a Teaching for Mastery approach to maths.
    The current plan is for a new batch of five lessons to be added every week.
    This week’s lessons are:

•   Key Stage 1 - Multiplication
•   Lower Key Stage 2 - Fractions
•   Upper Key Stage 2 - Fractions.

    Images and representations used come from the Primary Mastery Professional Development
    Materials elsewhere on this website.

    White Rose Mathematics Home Learning
    https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning
    White Rose Maths Team has prepared a series of five maths lessons for each year group from
    Year 1-8. Every lesson comes with a short video showing you clearly and simply how to help
    your child to complete the activity successfully. The worksheet does need to be printed though.
    The next few weeks will vary from the material on BBC Bitesize. Thereafter the materials on
    BBC and White Rose home learning will be the same. A 12 week overview of learning is
    available. There are also weekly family challenges.

    Oak National Academy
    (https://www.thenational.academy/online-classroom)
    The Oak National Academy, is an online learning tool, which has been created by 40 teachers
    across the country to provide 180 classes for children from reception age to year 10 across a
    range of subjects including maths, arts and languages.
    The online classroom offers free access to teachers delivering video lessons, quizzes and
    worksheets. All the lessons are ordered so children learn along a clear plan. New lessons and
    resources will be provided each week.
    To see what is being taught this week, download the plan here.
    There may be lessons and resources available which will support the plans you already have in
    place for home learning for your children. There are some suggestions for teachers and schools
    on how to make the most of this resource.
    Oak National Academy will fit alongside other resources – such as BBC Bitesize – to offer a
    structure for the day for children until schools fully reopen.
    Work is currently underway also to provide support for teachers working with pupils with
    additional needs, and teachers based in specialist settings. Next week, Oak National Academy

hope to launch materials for pupils not able to access all aspects of what is currently being
offered.
Letters and Sounds online lessons

Online phonics lessons are now available from Letters and Sounds for home and school

Written and presented by phonics experts and funded by the Department for Education, the online
lessons are designed to cover new phonics teaching that that children would have received over the
summer term had they been in school. This resource is for use by teachers and parents who will find
planning and teaching phonics challenging when schools are closed due to Covid-19.

Three sets of lessons are available. One set for Reception and one for Year 1, based on where
children are expected to be in their learning in the summer term. A third set of lessons aims to reach
the lowest 20% of children; focusing on areas children find the most challenging. A guidance film for
parents to explain the basics of Phonics and how parents can support their child is also available.
