HomeworkChildren will begin to receive homework from this week. It will be sent home on a Friday and we ask that it is completed and returned no later than Wednesday the next week.

Each week your child will receive:

A piece of English Homework A piece of Maths Homework A list of spellings (tested on a Friday) A reading book appropriate to your child’s

reading ability – to be changed twice per week. (As well as word recognition, a key focus on home reading should also be comprehension.) If you listen to your child read, could you please question them about what they’ve read to build up their comprehension skills? A book chosen by your child to share at home with an adult

In addition to the homework we ask that you encourage your child to read as much as they can at home either independently or sharing a book with an adult.

Class 7 NewsletterAutumn 2017

PEClass 7 will be having PE sessions on Monday and Friday afternoons. One of the sessions will be led by Emma, a gymnastics coach.

We kindly ask that all children bring their PE kit into school at the beginning of each half-term and we will return them to you at the end of each half-term.

Cursive Handwriting

Children in Class 7 will be joining their handwriting using a cursive style. Please encourage your child to join their handwriting when completing homework as this will support their work in school.

Please can you make sure all of your child’s belongings are clearly labelled? If you have any queries or concerns, please feel free to pop into class to see me.Many thanks and I look forward to working with you and your child.
