EYFS | Wilthorpe Primary School

Dear Parents/Carers,

Please see the links below to useful websites that you may need during the school closure.

Each day we will be posting ideas for home learning so please keep an eye out and we would love to see lots of responses to our posts!

Rising Stars Reading Planet

We have signed up to an online reading scheme which allocates books to read based on their phonics knowledge. This allows children to apply the sounds that they know to recognise and decode words, building on fluency. Each child has their own log in details which gives them access to appropriate books that their class teacher has assigned. Please see the documents above with your child's log in details. CHILDREN IN ROCKET CLASS YOUR PASSWORD IS NOW Rocket1.
