Maths homework will be set on Purple Mash. If you can not access it please let me know and I will give you a paper copy.
Children will be given spellings every Monday to learn for a test the following Monday.
Children are expected to read at least 4 times a week, this can be either the books we provide from school or by accessing the Bug club.
If you or your child/children are unsure of what to do, please come and see me as soon as possible. A record is kept of whether children complete their homework and reading.
Spelling
Spellings are handed out each Monday, children are to learn their spellings for a test on the following Monday. The children will be provided with a spelling sheet, they must use this to write their spellings out everyday ready for their weekly test.
