Espresso for all

We now have home access to Espresso for all pupils in the school. This is made available via the It's Learning school learning platform. There is a vast amount of educational material to support homework and to extend learning. To access the materials children will need to remember their It's Learning log on information. If you are having trouble finding the site here is a link . You may have trouble with access if your browser does not allow secure access. When children log on they need to go to their year group dashboard and there is a link box to Espresso from there.

Word Search

To make a word search visit the link on the sidebar. Type in the words you want to be found or copy and paste from a list you have on your computer. (see below)

Now scroll down to design the word search. Here you have a few choices that allow you to make it more or less difficult to find the words, whether you want to use lower or upper case letters and the size of grid to use. (keep it to the smallest option if you are only using the words on the weekly spelling list, see below)

Now press make it and the word search will be created for you. The answers appear on a grid below the word search. Print out and use. (see below)

Hope this helps. Any questions please leave a message.
