Reading
All children have a Reading Journal and we would be grateful if you could date whenever your child reads with you and note how they are getting on with their books. Please remember that it is more important that a child understands and enjoys the book rather than ensuring they get to the end of the story quickly – little and often can often be more successful.
Homework
We thank all parents/carers for their support in ensuring homework is completed and handed in on time. Children make the most progress at school when they feel the school and their families are working together. All homework will be relevant to work in school and the children will always receive feedback.
This is in addition to reading, which we expect the children to do for a short time every night – please check your child’s reading journal regularly.
Tables and mental maths activities are also very important, so practice at home is really beneficial.
Remember you can also keep up to date with what is happening in school on Facebook and Twitter.
