Reading
Reading is an important part of school life and children need to read every day. Help your child become fluent when reading by listening to them read every day! Please ensure that children have their reading records at school every day, as children will need these during guided reading. Reading records will be checked daily, to see if your child has read.
Spellings
Spellings are set on spelling frame for the week. Children all have access to their log in details and will be tested every Friday. They will have the opportunity to learn their spellings at school. Spellings homework will be set on Friday and tested on the following Friday.
Maths homework
Maths homework will be sent home on a Friday and homework books need to be handed in on the following Wednesday, so that they can be marked.
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.
