Reading

Reading books will be changed every Wednesday. Please ensure you are reading every night to help develop your child's fluency and understanding. Whenever you read at home, please make sure you are logging it in their new reading journal. We will sometimes recommend that your child keeps some books for a little bit longer to re-read to support their understanding and fluency. 

Homework

Homework is sent out every Friday via your child's homework.  This will alternate between Maths (basic number facts/number formation etc) and English (Read Write Inc phonics/ spellings/ handwriting etc.) each week.  Homework is due back every following Thursday for a 3 dojo award. 

Physical Education

PE takes place every Thursday and Friday and is delivered by our experienced CEPD coaches/ Tattenhall Park Primary staff. Please ensure that your child's PE kit is in every day as we may choose to have an additional PE lesson. Please see our PE timetable below.

Thursday- 10:40-11:40pm 

Friday- 1:20-2:20pm
