Due to Covid, children’s reading in school and at home will be a little different. All of the children will be issued between 1 – 3 books on a Friday. They will read these books at home and return them to school the following Friday along with their reading record books.

The expectation is for the children to have read at least four times a week at home. This does not always have to be in the form of a book – if you are out shopping encourage your children to read road signs or labels on packages in the supermarket, instructions if you are cooking together, sit and look at a newspaper or even instructions on a video game!

The children will still be able to access accelerated reader at home to complete the quizzes to build up their word counts with the ultimate goal of becoming a ‘reading millionaire’.

Within school we now have two reading sessions every day and one of these is to encourage the enjoyment of reading with the children.

HOMEWORK

Current Learning

To carry on from the fantastic learning that the children were doing in year 2

before covid, they will be completing some maths, GPS and reading quizzes

so that we can identify the points that the children are at. This will then

inform our planning for the week.

The children will also have three formal assessments throughout the year

using our PIRA and PUMA schemes.

• Parents Meetings –20/10 (until 5), 22/10 (until 7) – via zoom - 23/3 (until 5) & 25/3 (until 7)

• Message with SLT in mornings

• Email – via the school website under ‘contact us’ - http://www.hoo-st-werburgh.medway.sch.uk/contact-us/

• Phone call to office – 01634 338040

• Note – pop any non-urgent notes into

the contact book which will be checked

every Friday.
