PE Kit: 

Please ensure that PE kit is in school at the start of the week, as our PE slot may change periodically throughout the term. Children will require both an indoor and outdoor pair of PE shoes. Kit must also be washed regularly if it gets dirty at school.

Homework

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

• 5² Mental Maths – given out weekly

• 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 given out weekly in the spelling homework books. 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.

Please ensure that you write a comment in your child’s school planer if you have any questions or comments and ask your child to place the planner on the teacher’s desk. We will respond to these comments and questions.
