Summer

Homework

Maths homework will be sent home, on a worksheet, every Friday and is expected back to school the following Friday.

Reading books are set to the children's reading level and will be changed every Friday. We ask that you read 3 times per week and record this in the child's reading record, this could be a quick signature. 

Spellings are posted on class dojo every Friday and the children will be tested on these the following Friday. 

• We ask that all children try and complete their homework on a weekly basis to ensure that the skills that the children have learnt within class are revisited to strengthen the children's knowledge.
