 We will also expect the children to log onto Numbots and/or TT Rockstars to complete some maths fluency practice.

Daily reading is also a very important part in your child’s learning journey. This can be reading their school reading book and/or enjoying a reading for pleasure book of their choice. Spellings will be sent out weekly to practice at home and the children will be tested informally on Fridays. This will be sent out on Class Dojo by your class teacher on Fridays.

Reading

Along with giving the children a reading book that matches their reading ability (as assessed in class) the children will also bring home a ‘reading for pleasure’ book. Red Class will visit the library weekly to select/change their own choice of book. Remember that even when your child can read it is still important that adults read to them to ensure that they continue to develop a love for books and can be exposed to new vocabulary.  

Homework

 1) Create your own moving monster and as a challenge can you make it move. 

2) Create your own fact file on an animal that provides information about their habitat and a food chain.

3) Write a short story with the following title: The Rain Never Stops

4) Draw or paint a picture of the rainforest. Think about what animals you could put in it. #
