Key Information

PE Lessons: Tuesdays & Fridays. PE kits are to be worn to school on these days.

Water bottles - Please ensure your child is bringing in a named water bottle every day.

Stationery - All stationary needed for daily lessons is provided by the school.

Reading Books - Reading books and Reading Records should be brought to school daily. We encourage children to read every night to support their phonics. Please ensure that once you have read a book, you comment and sign so we know if it has been read.

Homework

Homework will be set every Friday and is due the following Wednesday. With the exception of the weekly spellings homework that is given on Mondays. 

Homework tasks consist of book work or online work, including tasks set on My Maths. The children will be set weekly spellings on a Monday. Children should practice these spellings in their green spelling books, ready for their spelling text due the following Monday. Children will be given a spelling homework sheet, but this is not due back until the test date. 

We ask that children complete regular timestable practice on TT Rockstars. In May, the year 4 children will take statutory Multiplication Check. This is a short, computer-based assessment testing the children's re-call of the timestables. Regular practice on TT Rockstars Soundcheck Mode will be good preparation for this.
