Pupil Offer
Homework
Homework will be sent home each Friday.
A list of spellings or 'sounds of the week' will be sent home to practice. In KS2 they will have a written test the following Friday. There will also be an optional spelling sheet for KS2.
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.
This will be sent out on Class Dojo by your class teacher on Fridays.
Remember to name your child’s property
A reminder that lost items are far more likely to return to their owners if they are clearly named! That includes any pens, pencil cases, lunch boxes etc as well as clothes.
Optional Home Learning Tasks
TBC.
Many thanks,
Mr Goodfellow
