Reading Routine

• Reading regularly is so important. We expect children to read their 'Learn to read book' at least 3x a week and have this signed in their reading diaries (monkey books).
• Books will be changed on a Friday. Please ensure children have their book bags and reading books every day as we use them often.
• Please do not carry water bottles to school in book bags - we need to look after our new reading books and water bottles leak!
• We would also encourage you to share at least one 'Love to read' book with your child every day. This might be their library book or another book from home. Sharing a book is a wonderful way to unwind.

Homework Routine:

Weekly - 

• Reading regularly each week; a minimum of 3 times a week and record in diaries.
• Read to your child and let your child see you reading for pleasure too; it is important that you model.
• Phonics sheet with this weeks sound or spelling rule. A short optional activity will be included this would be great consolidation for your child. Please refer to this with them.
• Spelling and tricky word bookmarks - please practise these words with your children.
• Attach them weekly to the key-ring and refer back to previous weeks. 
• We will send regular updates of what we have been covering in maths for you to continue at home.

• Occasional topic home learning projects.
• Occasional tailored homework will be sent home; please check bookbags on a regular basis! 

PE Days:

PE is on a Wednesday and Thursday and children will need to wear PE kit into school on these days.

Library:

Children visit the library on a Wednesday so please make sure your child has their library book in school on this day each week so they are able to choose a different book.
