General Reminders
Reading is at the heart of everything we do, so please try and read with your
child every night to help them to develop their reading fluency and build their
vocabulary. Reading books are changed on Wednesdays, but your class teacher
can change your book again if you have been a reading enthusiast at home!
Your child can bring a water bottle to school, containing water only.
Homework is set weekly on RM EasiMaths, Times Tables Rockstars and Spelling
Shed. Additional tasks can be uploaded to Microsoft Teams. Look out for
homework projects too – a chance for you and your child to get creative at
home!
Please keep practising your timetables up to 12 x 12 so that you are fluent, fast
and confident.
Class Dojos are used to celebrate achievements and praise efforts!
