Additional online learning platforms ​

Linguascope — ​https://www.linguascope.com

This is an excellent tool for language learning. All our pupils are familiar with the website and

like it because it is fun, easy and interactive. Username: vinefrench Password: 2019@v1neh

Mangahigh — https://www.mangahigh.com/

A games-based learning platform for maths. All of the pupils in the Prep School have a

Mangahigh account through which they can access assignments set by their teachers as well

as a range of games. Games such as Sundae Times and Jetstream Riders are an excellent way

of practising fundamental mental arithmetic skills, whilst Flower Power and Ice, Ice Maybe are

perhaps more suited to slightly older children, providing practice working fractions, decimals

and percentages. ​

Phonics Play — https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/

Phonics Play encompasses a number of games over the range of phonics levels. Your child’s

teacher can guide you as to the appropriate level.

Planet BOFA — https://www.bofa11plus.com/

This is an adaptive online platform that tests, teaches and retests pupils, personalising learning

by focusing on areas of weakness. At Vinehall, Planet BOFA is primarily used with those children

preparing for the Kent Test or for the ISEB Pre-Tests, but we have set up all of our pupils in Years

3 to 6 accounts so they can access the English, Maths and Reasoning tests whilst they are at

home should they wish. Your child’s username is their school email address and the password

is ‘vinehall’.​

Scratch​— https://www.scratch.mit.edu

An online free programming platform which incorporates interactive games and activities.

Top Marks​ — https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/5-7-years/counting

An excellent website for pupils 3+. This is used mostly for Mathematics in the Pre-Prep but also

caters for literacy.

Typing Club — https://vinehall-school.typingclub.com/

Vinehall has subscribed to Typing Club to enable pupils to develop and hone their touch-typing

skills. Pupils in Years 2 to 8 have accounts and have been set assignments to complete. To log

on they will need to use their username for the school computers (which is their school email

address without ‘@vinehallschool.com’) and the password is ‘vinehall’.
