We will continue to post updates and information to our Class Dojo page. Please download the app and sign up to notifications.
Homework
Your child will be set homework on Doodle Learning each week. This homework will enhance the curriculum that they are following in school and will help to deepen their learning and understanding. We greatly appreciate parental support and encourage parents to become involved in their children’s learning. Research has shown that support from home significantly improves a child’s achievement in school. Homework will be set on the Monday of each week. Pupils have all been sent home with logins.
Phonics
As a school we teach Phonics using Read Write Inc.
Reading
Reading with your Child at home is so important.
Each week your child will be sent home with Read Write Inc Storybooks and Book Bag books linked to their current learning. These books should be read more than once to develop fluency and familiarise children with tricky words (red words) in order for them to become confident in decoding.
Reading Records
We ask that you read at home with your child each night for approximately 15 minutes and write a comment in their reading record books each time your child reads at home. We would ask you read no more than a few pages each time and spend time discussing the story and asking your child questions in order for your child to fully understand the books. Please try and read your child’s home reading book more than once so ensure they fully understand the text.
Maths
We use the White Rose Maths scheme in school. Pupils will be set weekly maths homework on Doodle Learning. This again will consolidate the learning taking place within our class.
PE
This term, we will have PE on alternating Mondays and Wednesdays. Please see Class Dojo for more information.
Please make sure your child comes into school each PE day wearing their PE kit.
