How can you help you child? One of the best ways to help your child with their learning is to read with your child every night Times tables are going to be tested at the end of year 4 , so in year 3 it is vital to practise times tables with your child every night By the end of year 1 and 2 children must know their 2, 5 and 10 times tables By the end of Year 3 children must know their 3, 4 and 8 times tables By the end of Year 4 children must know their 6, 7 and 9 times tables Sitting with your children each week to complete their homework is also a great way to help your child. Attending our ‘Sharing Our Success’ afternoons will help to keep yu up to date with what your child is learning Attending parent evenings is a great way to get a personalised and more detailed update of your child’s learning.

How you can contact the teachers? Year 1 class teachers will be available to speak to at the classroom doors before and after school We will also be available to speak to on ‘Sharing our Success Days’ and Parent’s Evening
