About Us and Our Timetable 2019-2020

PE Kit: Friday

Please ensure your child has their PE kit at school ready for use and that all clothing is clearly named. Children should have indoor and outdoor PE shoes. As the children will often be taking part in PE lessons outside, a warm jumper would also be recommended.

Homework

• Maths – to be given out on Thursday and due in on Monday

• Topic/Literacy – Learning Log to be given out on Thursday and due in on Monday. There may be circumstances where the Learning Log homework may take place over two weeks.

• Reading 3 times per week – ask your children questions about what they are reading and encourage them to read more often.

• Spelling – to be give out Wednesday and due in on Monday. The children will stick in a hard copy of their weekly spellings into their pink spelling homework books each week which will be checked by the teacher, there will then be a spelling test which goes into the back of their spelling homework books each Wednesday. Please ensure you review your child’s progress and continue to work on any spelling corrections.

• 5² mental maths – given out weekly and checked the following week

Please ensure that you write in your child’s homework book or planner if you have any questions or comments. This will allow us to determine whether the work is of an appropriate level. We will respond to these comments and questions.
