Home learning

Home Learning at Browney Academy is intended to develop our pupils' excitement and passion. We believe in fostering a lifelong love of learning for all our pupils. Lifelong learners are motivated to learn and develop because they want to: it is a deliberate and voluntary act. Lifelong learning can enhance our understanding of the world around us, provide us with more and better opportunities, and improve our quality of life.

PANDA online learning portal

We have developed an online platform called PANDA which allows our children and parents access all home learning, for each week, in one place. A guide on how to use PANDA can be found at the bottom of this page and you can access PANDA here.

Our home learning routines

Creative homework and exploration is set at the start of every half term. This homework hooks children into their up and coming topic and provides opportunities for parents to become involved in their child’s learning.
Phonics – children will be given sets of phonics cards/tasks to blend, which they can practise at home.
Reading and/or talking about their reading to an adult for at least 10-15 minutes, 4 times a week.
Learning spelling patterns, sent home weekly.
Multiplication tables weekly through Times Tables Rockstars and reciting to increase their fluency so that they can be applied in other areas of maths and problem-solving.
