  • HOMEWORK OF THE WEEK (27.11.23)

    Published 24/11/23, by Rosie Jackson

    Please find attached this week's spellings for next Monday's spelling test (04.12.23). For this week, your child has one spelling activity handwriting sheet for the sound -ies (to be completed independently) and a Maths activity based on bar models, which shouldn't take your child too long to finish and complete (the majority of it) independently. Please continue with reading at home.  Your child was given a Reading Journal Booklet last week and it is so wonderful to see some of the children who have completed a page already! Super work. Continue recording your child's reading outside of school and then send your child in with their journal to celebrate that they have completed a page. Rememeber not to skip past the Christmas page , yet!  Additionally,  Doodlemaths is set on Fridays so you should see some new assignments set for this week already as well as keeping up with the practice on Spelling Shed.  Again, most of these online tasks are set so your child is able to complete these by themselves.

    Have a great week!

  • HOMEWORK OF THE WEEK (13.11.23)

    Published 10/11/23, by Rosie Jackson

    Please find attached this week's spellings for next Monday's spelling test (20.11.23). This week's spelling rule focusses on words that end in -il or -al. As always, thank you for your ongoing commitment to ensure your child's learning remains continuous. We always look forward to 'Show and Tell' Mondays. 

    For this week, your child has only one spelling activity sheet (to be completed independently) and a Maths sheet (with some parental guidance for those children which require extra support). Both of these shouldn't take your child too long to finish and complete (the majority of it) independently. I have only provided one spelling activity as I encourage you to continue using Spelling Shed as much as possible. Please continue with reading at home as well as Doodlemaths (set assignments on Fridays). Again, most of these online tasks are set so your child is able to complete these by themselves.

    As a reminder of a previous blog post, your child came home with a Castles Topic homework sheet. Children are to complete at least one of the activities and for this to be shared by 15/12/23. As the children have really enjoyed their Castles topic, we have provided a list of activities for your child to choose from and complete at least one before the deadline date. 

    Have a great week!

Your child will be bringing a copy of this autumn 2's KIRF for you to have a look at together. This is so you are aware of what the children are learning before Christmas and should be able to achieve by the end of the autumn term.

  • HOMEWORK OF THE WEEK (06.11.23)

    Published 06/11/23, by Rosie Jackson

    Please find attached this week's spellings for next Monday's spelling test (13.11.23). Thank you for your ongoing commitment over the half-term holidays to ensure your child's learning remains fresh. Looking at the homework books, I can see all of the exciting things your families got up to from pumpkin carving to zoo visits etc. We enjoyed listening to these adventures during 'Show and Tell'. 

    For this week, your child has only two spelling activity sheets (both can be completed independently) and a Maths revision sheet which shouldn't take your child too long to finish and complete (the majority of it) independently. Please continue with reading at home as well as Doodlemaths and Spelling Shed for a few minutes at a time. Again, most of these online tasks are set so your child is able to complete these by themselves.

    Have a great week!

  • HOMEWORK OF THE WEEK (30.10.23)

    Published 01/11/23, by Rosie Jackson

    Hello,

    I hope you're enjoying your holidays so far. In preparation for Monday's spelling test (06.11.23) please find the attached list to ensure your child is able to keep practising in their homework book.

    Thank you for the continued support this half-term in ensuring your child completes their weekly homework tasks.

    *Please listen to your child read at least 3 time a week. Please use the phonics links sent to you (if applies) as a way to keep phonics learning fresh and secure.

    *Try to stay in the green zone on doodle by completing your '5 a day' and your assignments. Hopefully, this is a quick activity for your child - it really does make such a difference to their maths fluency and helps their maths to become more automatic.

    *Please ensure your forest schools kit including wellies are in school on Fridays and that PE kit is in school on Mondays and Fridays. Please feel free to leave kit in school now that we have our lovely, new cloakrooms where we have plenty of storage!
