We hope you all had a lovely, relaxing summer and managed to enjoy the nice weather. It has been so good this week to see the children back in school again. I know a few of them will have been feeling a little anxious on Tuesday but we hope they are feeling more relaxed and settled now. If your child has a new class teacher, please come and find us and introduce yourself or speak to us if you have any concerns.
This week, your child will bring home their new reading book and reading journal. Reading is a huge priority in school and being a competent reader allows the children to access their learning easily. Each week, your child will need to read daily at home. This is even better if they can read aloud to an adult. Please record any reading they do in the journals. They will also be set a task to complete about the book they’re reading. This needs to be completed to the same standard as the work they complete in school. Your child might need a little bit of support with this. Journals need to be in school every Friday for Book Club. We would also appreciate parents signing the journals to know that the children are reading at home.
As well as reading, your child needs to be accessing Times Tables Rockstars. Ten minutes a day would be really beneficial. Please ask your class teacher if you’ve lost your login details.
Spellings will be given out this week for the half term. Please help your child learn these words. Spellings have a great impact on a child’s writing ability so the more confident they are, the better.
Thank you so much for your support with learning at home – we appreciate it!
