Important Notes:

  • Maths and English homework goes out on a Thursday and should be returned every Tuesday.

  • Spellings will go home and be tested every Friday, unless instructed otherwise.

  • Homework, as always, will be linked to class topics and subjects covered. If children are unsure of what they are to do, they must ask a member of staff BEFORE the day it is due in and we will work with your child to rectify this. Especially by Year 5, it is important for the children to have these responsibilities and to look after their own school stuff!

  • Please try to read at home every night, even for just 10 minutes. It really does make a massive difference to your progression in reading and other subjects! Mrs Dutton asks that Reading Records return to her on a Monday and a Tuesday, signed by parents so that she can monitor children's home-reading progress.

  • Don't forget our fantastic resources for reading, including; First News and BugClub. We also have DoodleMaths and CodeStudio which the children use in class.
