PE Days
Our timetabled PE days are Tuesday for indoor/outdoor and Wednesday for swimming. However, please ensure that your child’s PE kit is in school every day as these days can be subject to change at short notice.
Homework
-
Homework will be sent home each Thursday and is due back on Monday.
-
Each child will receive a homework sheet in their homework book containing:
-
Spellings: 10 words taken either from the previous week’s learning or from the previous year groups common exception words spelling list, to help consolidate and secure previously taught skills.
-
Arithmetic practice: A short section focused on prior learning, designed to strengthen and reinforce key calculation skills.
-
This approach ensures children are regularly revisiting and consolidating essential knowledge, helping them to build confidence, fluency and independence over time.
Reading - Children are sent home with a reading book daily. We ask that parents and carers read regularly (ideally daily) with their children. When you read with your child at home, please place a note in your child's reading record so they can be rewarded accordingly.
If you have any queries regarding your child's homework or if there is a reason why your child has been unable to complete their homework, please speak with their class teacher in the first instances who will be able to advise and support.
