Longman’s Home Learning Projects

During lockdown in Spring 2020 (Covid-19) we created weekly learning packs for each year group with activities to complete at home, across a wide range of curriculum areas. You can still access these fantastic resources below; they are great to dip into at anytime!

What are the aims of the Learning Projects?

  • To create age specific learning opportunities for primary school children.
  • To create a resource for parents that is easy to access and use – the focus is on parents being able to help deliver the content or children accessing it independently.
  • Key learning is linked to the National Curriculum.
  • To enable children to continue with their learning at home during this closure.
  • To enable families to focus on a joint topic and theme to promote family wide learning.
  • To provide structure and focus to each day that an enforced shutdown occurs.
  • To centralise online learning resources and links into an easy to manage format for families.

How do I use the Learning Projects?

As a parent, your first step is to select the year group your child is in. The topics are the same for every year group each week and so this should help if you have more than one child. Each Friday, there will be new projects uploaded for each year group ready to start the Monday after.  You then download the project and begin following it. The project aims for you to complete approximately two hours of learning a day with your child but this is very much your parental choice.

What happens if my child finds the learning too difficult?

Our first piece of advice to parents is that ALL children find elements of learning challenging at times so try not to worry if your child becomes stuck and you cannot explain it to them. If this happens then make a note of what they found hard and move onto another learning activity .

The Learning Projects are based on the National Curriculum expectations for the year group which your child is in. It may be that your child finds the tasks set within the Learning Project for their year group too challenging, for example, if they have additional learning needs. If this is the case, then we advise that your child accesses the Learning Projects which are set to the age range below, for example a child in Year 3 or 4 could attempt the Year 1 or 2 Learning Project or if this is more appropriate for them.
