Teach Your Monster to Read

By Miss Schön20th March 2020

Some parents have reported that they were unable to log-in to this game or that the app is now charging a fee to download.

We have looked into this and you child is able to access this for free on a computer and only through this link (not through the main website page):

www.teachyoumonstertoread.com/u/3069607

You can then use your child’s login details.

If you would prefer to use this on a phone or tablet you will be able to download it from the store but it is currently charging 99p for the download. You can then log in using your child’s details. Please make sure you type the username and then the number next to the star. No password is required in the 3rd box.

How to access Google Classroom

By Selina Burton19th March 2020

Starting from Monday Miss Hilton, Mrs Faulding and Mrs Burton will be adding daily learning tasks to the ‘google classroom’ which is an online learning aspect of our school website.  To access your child’s learning tasks you will need to sign into Google Docs on their behalf.

To sign into Google Docs from a tablet, phone or laptop follow the instructions below.  Further instructions for other devices can be found on the school website home learning page.

  1. Search internet for ‘greentopschool.co.uk’ or enter the school web address: Greentopschool.co.uk
  2. Once on to school web page go to ‘log in’ 
  3. Enter log in details – user name: john.smith (child’s first name full stop and last name, no spaces, no capital letters).
  4. Enter password: password (all lower case)
  5. From here you will need to open your child’s emails and click to accept the invitation to join the Year 2 classroom.
  6. To access the google classroom after this initial time you will need to open your child’s google docs, click on the 9 dots next to the search bar and open the classroom.

If at any point you have any questions about accessing google docs, log in details or how to use google classroom, please email me on [email protected].

Many thanks for your patience and continued support at this uncertain time.

KS1

By J Jackson19th March 2020

All our children from Y1-Y6 are already able to access ttrockstars, a programme that enables them to practice their times tables.  For the foreseeable future during school closures, they will also have access to the sister website ‘Numbots’.

NumBots is an online game and playing little and often will significantly improve your child’s recall and understanding of number bonds and addition and subtraction facts. These are critical foundations in maths so we are excited by the impact NumBots will have.

They can play at home on the website (play.numbots.com) or the NumBots app, available for Amazon, Android and Apple devices. Children might need some help navigating to the website and entering the details but once they’re in, they just need some quiet space to get on with the games.

All the children already have a username and password that allows them to logon to ttrockstars.  The same login details will allow them access to numbots too.

Most children’s login details in Y1 and Y2 are:

Username: firstname

Password: 123

There may be the odd slight variation due to more than one child with the same name.  If you have any problems logging your child on then please email me at [email protected] and I will email back with their personal log in details so that they can get straight on learning and having fun at the same time!
