Reading Books

Every child is encouraged to choose a book from our classroom library to enjoy reading at home. Children can read this for as long as it takes them to read it. It can be read to the child, with the child or by the child.

If your child is a fluent reader, this will be the only book they bring home because their Guided Reading book is a chapter books and will be read throughout the term.

If your child is still reading Little Wandle Guided Reading books, they will bring home a second book to practice their reading at home. Please encourage your child to read it as much as possible during the week. This book will be swapped for a new one every Thursday.

Homework

Homework will be sent on Arbor messages every Friday afternoon.

Usually homework will include:

• Reading as often as possible during the week
• Practising weekly spellings - found in your child's reading record each Friday for a spelling test the following week.
• Practising counting in: 2s, 5s and 10s and we begin to learn our times tables.

Occasionally, additional learning questions or craft projects will be offered as optional homework to further explore our school learning. This is not compulsory to complete - only the three above tasks are. 

PE days

This term, our PE day is:

Please ensure children come to school dressed in their PE kit.
