Reading
Children will have both a banded reading book and a 'Reading for Joy' book. Your child should be reading their school colour banded book more than once to aid with fluency and comprehension. Alongside this they can read another book of their choice to encourage 'Reading for Joy'.
Please read with your child daily, or as often as possible at home - recording in their diary when you listen to them read. Children will read to adult in school weekly.
It is important that children can not only read books but understand what they are reading.Try to discuss the story, characters and vocabulary with your children. Support with this can be found in the files at the bottom of this page.
Homework
Please check your child's homework diary for all homework pages. Their diary should be in class everyday.
Maths: TBC
English: TBC
Spelling: TBC
It is vital that children are learning the spelling rules in order to apply them to their writing, rather than just learning the words they bring home. A google search of the spelling rule will bring up lots more words to practice!
