As a school, we subscribe to a fantastic learning resource called espresso. It is an online library of videos, activities, ideas and news all for pupils and teachers to use to enhance their learning.
Pupils have home access to espresso via the username and password provided previously.
We would recommend that you use espresso as part of your daily home learning routine to watch the ’60 Second News’, News Bites and the Daily Challenge.
As well as that, there are literally thousands of activities available, as well as ‘espresso Coding’, which is accessible to all age groups and guides them through how to programme and code.
You can subscribe to their social media feeds by clicking on the links on the website (it’s at the bottom of the page)
