Key Information

Homework

For a greater focus on practising the key skills and knowledge of reading, spelling and arithmetic children will not have weekly homework set but will be given their spellings to practice on a Friday. Spellings are linked to spelling lessons and tricky / common exception words will be tested on the following Thursday. 
Outline of the homework expectations; 
Reading at home is expected a minimum of three times a week, to be recorded in your child’s reading record / homework diary.

Each term the children will be given a project to apply their learning, this information will be provided by the teachers closer to the time.

Reading

We all know the importance of reading and the knowledge and joy it brings. All pupils will come home with a school reading book and will be listened to in class. Any opportunity to read to an adult at home will be valued and talking about the book will truly help engagement and key comprehension skills.

Labels

Labels are very important in every piece of clothing to enable us to distinguish any lost or found clothing. Please could you help us to help the Y3/4 pupils to keep all that belongs to them in this way.

PE

For Spring 1, all three classes will have Key PE on a Tuesday. Please ensure that you send your child in the correct PE kit. 

We also have an additional PE session on these days:

• Kingfishers - Monday
• Owls - Wednesday
• Herons - Thursday
