Reading

Daily reading is essential.  Reading with your child and discussing the text with them is significant in developing their comprehension and inference skills.  Please ensure your child has their reading record in school as this is checked daily.

Spellings and Maths homework

Maths homework and spellings will be sent home on a Friday and both books need to be handed in on a Wednesday.  The weekly spelling test is on a Friday and children will have the opportunity to learn their spellings at school.

Times tables

We practise our times tables daily, through chanting them as a song.  It is a great and fun way to practise those times tables.  ‘Hit the button’ is a fantastic website for the children to practice their tables on.

PE

Children will have PE lessons every Wednesday and swimming on Friday. Please ensure children have suitable footwear please and the correct PE kit/swim wear.  Please do not forget that all Kit should be labelled.
