Home Learning:

English

• Spellings - spelling will be taught in school weekly. Ten spelling words will be sent home on a Monday in your child's spelling journal. Please ensure your child writes an engaging, well-punctuated sentence for 5 of the words. The spelling journal is to be returned to school by the following Thursday. Children will be tested on all 10 spellings on the Friday.
• Reading - encourage children to read daily. Try to find time to share a book with your child each week. 

Maths

• Paper-based maths homework will be handed out to children on a Wednesday in a document wallet. The homework is due the following Tuesday.
• Times Tables Rockstars - encourage children to login and regularly practise their times tables. 

Allergy Advice 

We have children with a severe dairy allergy causing anaphylaxis in Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. For this reason, all children must only bring nut and dairy-free snacks. Fruit is ideal.
