Online Safety
While learning online, remember to Stay Safe. This week we celebrate Safer Internet Day on Tuesday, 9th February. There are lots of online resources to support this, including this short video from the UK Safer Internet Centre on ‘What you can trust online’, which you may wish to watch with your child:
Your own free reader online with Oxford Owl
Oxford Owl Resource Page Year 3 and 4
We have found a website which offers free online e-books to read during this time as you cannot visit the library in town or at school.
Follow this link to get onto the site and follow the instructions to log on.
We’d love to create an online review file so we will be sending a book review sheet, via Purple Mash, for your child to complete once a book is read. We’d love to see some pictures or thoughts on the books you read on Seesaw too! You could even upload a video of your reading.
There is an alternative site you might like to try too…. https://www.booksfortopics.com/storytime-online
