Reading
Reading is essential to your child's understanding of the whole curriculum and their overall progress. Please try and listen to your child read as much as possible - at least three times a week. You and your child can use Boom Reader to record and comment on what they have read. Children will be expected to complete a book review once they have completed their book.
Homework
Homework is assigned through Sats Companian. Children will receive homework related to their English and Maths learning. Children will have a week to complete their homework before submitting to their teachers.
Spelling
Please practice the 'Words of the Week' with your child at home. New words will be provided each Monday, with a spelling test the following Monday.
Times tables
Speedy recall of times tables is vital for success in many areas of Maths. To support this, children should practice their times tables weekly at home using their TT Rockstars logins. Regular practice will help build confidence and ensure a strong foundation for future learning.
