What Does My Child Need Each Day?

Your child should bring their Reading Record, coat and water bottle with them each day. They can also bring in a healthy snack to have at break time if they wish.

Strong Foundations: Reading at Home

Your child should read every day for at least 10 minutes. Reading Records must be completed and sent to school each Wednesday

Three most helpful ways to support learning at home

1. Reaad daily

2. Practise spellings regularly

3. Daily Times Table practise (TTRS)

Homework

Your child should access TTRS and Spelling Frame 3 or more times a week for at least 10 minutes each time.

Each term, your child will receive an optional bingo homework sheet. At the end of each term, we will hold a homework celebration afternoon, where children can share the activities they have completed. If your child has not been able to complete any of the activities, they will be given the opportunity to do so during this afternoon.
