When starting at SFJS, your child will be issued with a school login for Google Education.

When logging in at school they will sign in with just their username.

At home they will need to remember to use their full username which will end with @SFJS.org.uk

 

With their Google login they have access to:

• Gmail (email)
• Google Sheets (spreadsheet) 
• Google Docs (word processing)
• Google Slides (presentations)
• Google Drive (document storage)
• Google Classroom (homework assignments) 

Link: classroom.google.com/

They will be shown in class how to access all the above platforms. More information on how to use Google Classroom at home can be found here 

They will have access to their school Google account for the duration of their time with us. When a child leaves, their accounts will be deleted.

TT Rockstars  is an online platform for children to learn and practise their times tables.

This is done by playing online adaptive question-based games via the app or browser.

TTRS is a useful tool for helping children prepare for the Multiplication Tables Check (MTC). This is a compulsory test for all pupils in Year 4 which takes place in June each year.

The children play under anonymous rock names and have avatars that they can customise using coins they have earned by answering questions correctly. Please see the guides below for more information.

There are also accessible functions to suit all learners such as decluttering the screen and hiding timers to help minimise anxiety.
