Home Learning
Reading
Every child will bring home a book to read to an adult. They may have a colour banded book or a ‘Reading for Pleasure’ book (if they are a free reader). Please listen to your child read everyday. Five minutes reading at home each day will help your child to develop their reading skills further.
Your child will also bring home a second book this is a ‘Reading for Pleasure’ book. This is a book that you can enjoy reading to your child or you may enjoy reading it together.
Please remember to always sign your child’s reading record each day.
Here is a small selection of age appropriate books that you might enjoy reading with you child:
Spellings
Statutory Word Lists:
If you have learnt your spellings for the week, why not challenge yourself to learn a few words from the statutory word lists below.
Maths
Play on Times Table Rock Stars for at least 5 minutes each day.
Visit www.ttrockstars.com or download the app to login and play!
Visit the ‘Garage’ to practice the times tables that Miss French has set for you to learn. Sometimes this will be one times table and sometimes there may be a few.
Visit the ‘Studio’ and play at least 10 games to get your Rock Star Status. As your fluency of your times table recall improves, the better your Rock Status will be! Remember, to become a ‘Rock Hero’, it will take lots and lots of practise!
Time Table Rock Star Challenge Wednesday!
Every Friday, we will be doing the Times Table Rock Stars Challenge. Each week your child will bring home a times table to focus on improving their speed in multiplying and dividing by that particular number.
