Summer 1 - Forest School
This half term we are delighted to be able to participate in Forest school workshops! This is thanks to Mrs Campbell who will be running the sessions every Friday morning.
Before pupils can take part we must have received their parental consent forms. They must also have long tops and trousers, a coat if it is wet and may want to bring welly boots too.
Please ask me or Mrs Campbell if you have any questions.

Class Reminders!
Homework
One piece of online maths homework will be given to the children on a Monday and expected to be handed in the following Tuesday. If homework is not handed in, children will miss their playtime to complete it. The website to find this homework is MYMATHS.
Spellings:
Spellings will be taught weekly (on a Friday), working through early spelling rules. I will then set weekly games for pupils to practice these rules on Spelling Shed. Each pupil has their own login to Spelling shed and have been given a copy, but please ask if you would like a new one! I have attached a link to the website at the bottom of this page.
Reading
I would like to reiterate how important it is that children read every day. We ask that children read for at least 20 minutes every day. Within our school day we take time to read each day, however pupils will benefit greatly from daily reading independently or with an adult at home.
Please see below for our Recommended Reading Lists.
Times Tables
Another key area of focus will be developing pupils understanding and fluency in their time tables. By the end of the term it is hoped pupils will have a good grasp and easy recall of the 2 – 12 times tables. Such knowledge supports a wide range of mathematical themes covered in the curriculum, and is invaluable for pupil’s progression. We will focus on developing these skills in class both with math games and our weekly 100 Club challenge, however to support pupils in this regular practice at home will be greatly beneficial.
Accelerated reader:
You can check on the progress your children have made on accelerated reader. Please go to the school website, scroll to the bottom and click on Accelerated Reader Home Connect. It’ll redirect you to a login page; and you will need to enter their child’s username and password. You can also opt in to update emails from here.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask a member of the Swan team!
