Topics throughout the year

Ways to support learning at home Reading Ideally 4/5 times a week. Both reading to you, hearing you read and reading by themselves. Reading Records expected in school each day. Children are encouraged to change their books as often as they can. Helping with homework and spellings

Homework Maths and English homework will be given weekly on a Friday. It must be handed in by 9.00 am the following Thursday. Work will relate to the topic in class that week. Children can come and see me at break / lunch if they are struggling with anything. Times table practise. Daily reading. Spellings

Spellings After a few weeks of settling into school, children will start their weekly spelling tests which will be on a Friday. The new spellings will then be given out for the following Friday. Most of the spellings will come from the year 5/6 curriculum and will be grouped into sounds so it’s easier for the children to learn.
