As well as supporting your child with their daily reading, we encourage parents to support their child at home by:

• Supporting your child with their weekly homework
• Encouraging writing through journals, creative stories, or letters
• Playing word games like Scrabble or Boggle to expand vocabulary
• Using real-life maths, like measuring ingredients while cooking or calculating shopping costs
• Practising spellings, times tables and mental maths with fun apps or flashcards
• Playing maths-based board games like Monopoly or Sudoku

Homework is given out on a Friday and should be handed in by the following Wednesday. Homework will consist of Maths work and a more general piece of work based on their current unit of work.

At the beginning of each half-term, differentiated spellings will be handed out. They will be tested weekly on Fridays.

Our allocated days for PE this year are:

5CW 5EA 5DH	Monday (outdoor)
