Supporting your child with their learning at home

We hand out homework to complete with your children every Friday, this is then due in on the following Wednesday. The homework will conist of a small amount of Maths- there are three difficulty levels to chose from, an optional additional task usually around their IPC topic and reading which we would like to see recorded in their reading records three times a week please. 

Spellings- Children will have 8 spellings sent home linking to a phonics or spelling pattern being taught in class. These will be tested in the spelling session on a Friday morning.

Reading- Reading should be completed a minimum of 3x a week, but ideally for 10 minutes each evening. This should be completed with an adult, who then records the reading session in the reading record. These should be brought to school daily.

Please see below for a helpful recommended reading list.
