Important Information

Reading

We will change books on a Monday or when the children have completed their book. The class will need to have their reading books in school everyday and they will hand these in each morning. Children will do daily reading lessons throughout the week. Where possible please also try to ask children questions about the text they are reading in order to practise their comprehension skills as well as their verbal reading. 

If you would like to volunteer to listen to children read in school, please let me know. We appreciate any additional help with supporting reading in our school. 

Homework

Homework is set on Fridays, all children will have a maths task and a SPAG task to complete. Any issues completing homework, please reach out before the Friday so that we can help!

Spellings

Spellings will be sent out each Friday, the children will be going through them during the week. Each set of spellings will follow a particular rule i.e. 'ing' words. Please use the Spelling Menu below to find fun ways to practise spellings. In addition to this, there are plenty of games to practise spelling online such as 'TopMarks', 'Spelling City' and 'Spelling Games'. 

Times Tables

Your child will have a log in for both Times Table Rock Stars in the back of their homework books. It is expected that children do log on to these regularly to complete additional tasks to further consolidate their learning. Their TTRS login will also work for NUMBOTs, however, we would expect the children to be confident in this knowledge by now. 

PE

PE days are Monday and Wednesday. Please ensure that your child's PE kit is in school every day and they have clothes suitable for both indoor and outdoor lessons.
