News.
School is now closed for Easter.
This week, we have sent home seedlings for the children to care for and, at the appropriate time, to plant out in the garden.. We would love to hear of how well the plants grow, and see any photos etc as we get further into the summer.
We would like to congratulate all the children for their very positive transition back to the classroom and we are excited to have a full term together when we return.
HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!
Home Learning for Absentees
If your child cannot attend school because they are waiting for a COVID test, or if they are well but are required to be in quarantine , here is the work they should do at home.
Home Learning Tasks for Week of 19 April
Home Learning for Week Beginning 29 March
WEEKLY HOMEWORK
Homework set: Fri 26 March
Homework due: Wed 31 March
Now the children have returned to school and settled back in to a familiar routine, we will reintroduce some weekly homework tasks. Homework will continue to be set on a Friday to be completed by the following Wednesday
After Easter, we will be posting our homework on Teams, on the Homework channel of each class.
For the next week, please try and spend some time practising times tables (5 minutes daily) using TT Rockstars, and daily reading. Children will be changing their reading books weekly. It would be very helpful for children to review and revise their 4x table facts and then work on 8x table facts, which we have now begun to work on in class.
Please see below for this week's spellings.
Thank you.
Spellings
In addition to any other homework tasks, please continue frequently with...
- Reading (see guidance below)
- Learning of times tables
- Letter formation practice. (See guide below.)
- Word processing skills, using BBC Dancemat Typing.
**********************************************
Handwriting Guidance
Please use lined paper and a sharp pencil whenever practising handwriting.
Work on the use of spacing between words and keeping letters on the lines.
If you reverse letters like d and b and p and q, spend time on these.
Tasks:
*Practise individual letter shapes, with a focus on those you find trickier to form.
*Letter r causes particular difficulties, so perhaps practise some joins from letter r (ra , ro, re, rd, rt).
Letter r always joins on to the next letter from the top , never from the bottom.
*Letter i is often formed in a way that is too tall. Practise forming letter i with the correct height. (Shorter than l, t, h, b. )
*******************************************
Maths:
1. Practise 4x and 8 tables.
Do a little, but often.

*******************************************
Reading:
Please ensure that your child brings completed books back to school to change!
Read at least 3 times per week.
Record in the blue organiser.
Adults can record what a child has read to them but children can record their own thoughts and opinions about their books too.
Read for pleasure, for information, read to someone aloud and have someone read to you. Read school reading book and books from home.
Why not read a book on Oxford Owls or Epic?
