At least one piece of topic homework should be produced each term, rewards are given at the end of each term to the children who have taken the time to do some homework. Please be as creative as you like! It could be written work, arty, crafty, musical, mathematical or even photos of something you've done as a family out of school.

Listening to your child read is also really important, as well as discussing what they are reading with them. You should listen to your child read at least 3 times per week, if your child forgets their school book please feel free to read any books they have at home.

Please make sure you send your child’s reading book and Reading Record with them every day and encourage them to take their book quizzes so they can whizz around our Reading Racetrack!
