Here you will find your child’s homework for the week ahead.
We have a suggestion for homework that can be completed across the week, with reading being a priority for every day.
Monday – spellings
Tuesday – maths (Year 1s Maths Seeds Year 2s Mathletics)
Wednesday – spellings
Thursday – maths (Year 1s Maths Seeds Year 2s Mathletics / Times Tables Rock Stars)
Friday – Write to the Top will be set and this needs to be talked through ready for your child to write on a Monday
During this half term we are reading a collection of the Katie Morag stories - by Mairi Hedderwick.
We will be looking at where they are set, who the characters are and how the stories develop. We will then be writing our own versions based on one of the Katie Morag stories.
It is recommended that reading takes place every day. Children who are using the Accelerated Reader system will continue to select books from the library at least once a week. These can be read at home and then returned to school when ready to quiz on. (They should be read at least twice)
For others the following approach will continue this half term:-
Books can be changed once returned to school. Reading for pleasure books are available to be chosen each day.
All children bring home a book related to their Read, Write Inc work and also have log in details for Oxford Owl to access the books being read in school.
