Homework
Spellings
Please revise the four words that will be sent home each week. There will also be 4 more words on the spelling test, following the same rule, that are not listed. The children will be tested on 8 words in total on Tuesdays.
My Maths
Each week, there will be a maths activity set on MyMaths, linked to the learning at school. Please encourage your child to log onto MyMaths and complete the activity.
Reading
Most children are working through Little Wandle phonics and will read books to reinforce the phonics teaching. They will read the book several times at school and then bring it home to read fluently and to discuss the text with you. The children will have a library book that they can also read at home. Children who have completed the phonics programme will bring home an Accelerated Reader book.
