We have put together an online learning zone to help you and your family learn from home during the Coronavirus/Covid-19 school/bubble closures.

On the right hand side of the screen you will see different year group folders as well as a PE folder from Mr Pearce, a SEND folder from Miss Green and an RE folder from Miss Smith. Each folder contains a suggested home learning timetable as well as other resources that teachers will continue to update over time. We have also included a link to our 'Online Safety' page which has lots of fantastic tools to help you keep your child safe online.

As a school, we are encouraging pupils to use Purple Mash and IXL. 

• Log in to Purple Mash, here - https://www.purplemash.com/sch/thegood-nn2 .
• Login to IXL, here - www.ixl.com/signin/olicatschools.

Children can also practice their times tables via TT Rockstars, this is something they have been using at school and should also have a log in for this. Log in here - https://ttrockstars.com/.

If you do not have a login for the above learning platforms, please contact the school office at admin@thegoodshepherd.northants.sch.uk.

Below are some useful links to external websites that are also offering fantastic resources during this time.
