Reminders

• We are a Healthy School, so please can you ensure that your child's water bottle is only filled with water and their snacks follow the Healthy Schools Policy.
• Don't forget to clearly label any clothing/shoes with your child's name and class to prevent them from getting mixed up/lost.
• Please send your child into school daily with their reading book and planner.

Homework

• Spellings - Your child will be given a spelling list every Wednesday to practise at home. They are tested on these spellings on the following Monday. Your child will also have a SpellingShed log in where they can practise their spellings through interactive games on any device.
• Maths and Literacy - Your child will be given a piece of Maths and a piece of Literacy homework to complete each week. It will be handed out every Wednesday and is expected to be returned by the following Monday. There will be a 15 minute detention for not handing in homework.
• Reading - Please can you ensure that you are reading with your child for twenty minutes three times a week. When you have read with them, please let us know by writing a comment in their planner. We check planners at the end of each week and give out rewards to children that are reading at home. There will be a 15 minute detention for not reading at least three times in a week at home.
