Our Class Novels
During the year, the children will have the opportunity to listen to the teacher read a selection of books. We have listed the books below for your information.
Homework
Each week the children are expected to complete at least 4 reads to an adult, learn their spelling focus and practise their times tables. If your child is finding any of this difficult, please talk to your child’s class teacher.
Reading
Children are expected to read at least four times a week at home. Please log all reading experiences in your child’s reading diary. Reading diaries are checked once a week and the class with the most reads each week is announced in Friday’s celebration assembly. Each child in the winning class will receive a golden ticket.
Spellings
Children learn spellings daily through their phonics lessons. This allows them to learn the sound at the same time as the spelling pattern and helps them to develop their reading and writing skills simultaneously.
Multiplication
Children are encouraged to learn their multiplication facts for 2 and 10 times tables using this online game tool called Times Tables Rock Stars (click on link below to log in). Log in details are in your child’s reading diary.
PE Days
Children should come to school dressed in their PE kit on PE days. A list of appropriate PE kit can be found by clicking here.
