Homework:
Children should be accessing weekly spellings on Spelling Shed and can practice their Maths on Numbots- please ask if you need help with this. Logins for these websites can be found in your child's reading record. Please let us know if you need a new copy of their login.

Children should be reading for at least 10 minutes, 5 nights a week (this can just be a few pages and doesn’t have to be a whole book). An adult needs to complete their reading record each time they read. We would very much appreciate you listening to your child’s reading/discussing their book with them and request that you sign your child’s reading record book and, if possible, add a comment. This will really help your child to progress in reading and writing. We check reading records on a weekly basis to ensure children are reading regularly. It is very disappointing for the children who have read but do not get these awards because their reading record has not been signed! Year 1 and 2 children will be changing their reading books on a daily basis. Please can you ensure that your child has their reading record in school every day. If you have any issues or difficulties reading with your child please come and speak to us, as your support at home is essential and reading at home is monitored as homework.
