PE

PE will take place on Tuesday afternoon. Please send your child to school in their PE kit on that day.

Home school diary & reading

Your child will bring home their home-school diary (orange) and a reading book each Monday (If they have read their current book). The home-school diary is a form of communication book for parents to adults within the class and also a reading log.

If your child reads any book at home, please tick the day and initial it. On Monday, if your child has read 5 times, they will receive dojo points and house points (they must show their signed book to prove this) 

In addition, use it to 'magpie' vocabulary This will enable your child to extend their vocabulary and potentially use these new words within their own writing.

Reading & book changing

Each week, an adult from the class will hear the children read as part of the whole class or on an individual basis. Books will be changed every Monday* or if they finish a book whilst reading with an adult. Please ensure your child has their reading book in school this day to avoid missing this opportunity. A week may seem a long time to read one book but of course, please read outside of the reading books we provide as I am sure your children will enjoy reading a range of stories/ non-fiction texts away from their school book. In addition to this, read the book for fluency. If there are unfamiliar words in the text, write them in the home-school diary and discuss them.

  *For those children who are reading chapter books I appreciate it may take longer than one week to read and therefore please change the books as appropriate.

Homework

Homework will be set via Seesaw every Monday and due the following Sunday. Your child will have received a green homework book to complete activities in. This will also contain appropriate logins for Seesaw and TTRS. Each week, I will be setting

- Spelling,

- Arithmetic

- Times tables (Times Tables Rock Stars) 

-Topic based revision from lessons
