At Holbeach we have some fantastic online resources that are available to use at home. Your child has logins for all these programmes, which will support their learning.

Times Table Rock Stars

Make learning Times Tables fun. Times Table Rock Stars allows children to create a rock star character, practise their times tables and the corresponding division facts and ‘buy’ things for their rock star.

My Maths

My Maths develops pupils’ confidence and fluency in Maths through fun activities. There are hundreds of lessons and self-marking homework tasks, worksheets, and games.

Bug Club

Bug Club is the only whole-school reading programme that brilliantly combines an online reading world with fantastic print books, and assessment tools. All children at Holbeach have an account for this fantastic online reading resource.

To all parents/carers who will be applying for their child to start primary school in September 2021

Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic we are unable to receive visitors on site and therefore will be hosting virtual meetings instead.

Holbeach will be holding Virtual Open Days, on the following three dates, where you will be able to experience a virtual tour of the school, meet the Headteacher, find out about the learning ethos of our school and ask any questions that you have about the admissions process.

To join the meetings, you will need to download Microsoft Teams (Click here to download for free) and then click on one of the links below, at the time stated, for whichever meeting you wish to join.

The ‘Helping Families Team’ have put together 3 really useful and informative packs to help you to look after yourself and your family.

CONNECTING AND STRENGTHENING

Connecting and Strengthening strategies can help you to meet your child’s emotional needs, increase positive behaviour, recognise your strengths as a parent, and improve your relationship with your child. Download your pack here

PARENTING GROUNDWORK

You can use parenting groundwork to help you to feel calmer, more connected to the present, and in control. Focusing on managing your own emotions first can also make parenting easier. Download your pack here

BOUNDARIES AND DISCIPLINE

COVID-19 restrictions mean it is a particularly tricky time for parents to hold boundaries and manage disruptive behaviour. You may find yourself getting stuck in a cycle of withdrawing from difficult behaviour, or escalating punishments, which can damage self-esteem. Increasing your options for discipline and holding boundaries can help you feel more confident as a parent and increase your child’s wellbeing and settled behaviour. Download your pack here
