Reading at Home

We would like to remind you that reading books will be going home each day and will need to be returned to school every day too.

If your child needs to change their book once they have read it a few times at home, they need to place it in the ‘To Change Book’ basket within their classroom before the end of the school day and a member of staff will change it with your child. This may differ slightly for those on Accelerated Reader.

Every time your child reads, please annotate this in their reading record because every three reads, the children are awarded 5 house points. Please ask the children to put their reading diary on the teachers desk in a morning, if they have 3 reads in it and they will then be awarded the house points.

If you have any questions about this, please speak to your class teacher.

Reading – we would ideally like you to listen to your children read 3 times a week and they will be rewarded 5 house points for every time this is recorded in their reading diary.

Spellings – spellings will be sent home on a weekly basis and the children will be tested on a Friday. (Week 1 there will be no spellings!)

Maths Homework – every week, there will be MyMaths homework set on a Friday, to be completed by the following Friday. If you are struggling with online access, let us know as we can ensure this is put in a book for you.

Homework Projects – these are set at termly and the children will be given more details about this towards the end of the Autumn term.

 

Physical Education – children will wear their P.E kits to school on their P.E days so will not need to be in uniform.
