Homework is sent out on a Friday and should be returned by the following Wednesday. Homework consists of spellings, a short maths task and a curriculum based task. In preparation for the upcoming Multiplication check in Spring 2, children should also be logging onto TTRockstars three times a week. Login details for TTRockstars can be found in the inside cover of your child's reading record.

Our PE days are on Tuesday (swimming) and Wednesday (Outdoors).

Multiplication Tables Check

TTRockstars

We have subscriptions to TTRockstars which your child can access from home with their username and password. Their details should be on the inside cover of their reading record. If it isn't there, please ask and I can give you a copy to keep safe at home!

Reading Books

It is really important that the children are reading at home at least 3 times a week as this allows them to practice frequently and ensures they continue to make good progress. In addition to their home reading, they will have an opportunity to read at school everyday as well as an allocated day, fortnightly, where they will be able to read with an adult 1-1. Reading books will be changed on Wednesdays however if your child needs more time then their reading book will be changed the following week. Children should have their reading books and reading records in school every day.

In addition to a reading book, your child will also bring home a library book. Library books are changed on Wednesdays, so could children please return their library books on Wednesday ready for a new book to be issued.

Kind regards
