Home Learning

Children are expected to read at home 3 times a week as well as practising their number bonds and spellings - these can be found at the back of pupil planners.  There are optional creative challenges which children will be set dependent on the current learning. 

Communication

Please contact the main office if you wish to provide us with any information, have questions or are having any issues accessing ParentMail. Your child' class teacher is your first point of contact therefore the office will forward any communication to them should you require any class specific information or discussion. 

Please ensure the collect your child from school form is up-to-date. Additional copies of this form are held in the main office.

How you can help at home

• Encourage and read with your child, and talk about what they have read. This will help their reading speed, understanding and their writing ability.  There is further information in the pupil planner to support you with this.
• Support your child with their home learning and complete their 'what have I enjoyed this week/what have I found hard' section in their weekly planner.
• Discuss the knowledge organisers with your child.
