Homework

 

Every child is expected to access Numbots for 15 minutes each week, read at home at least 3 times per week and log this on Boom Reader. They also need to learn their spellings each week. These can be bought into school or a photo of the work sent through class dojo.

It is vitally important that you support your child with their education at home, which will help them to succeed. All children should have their reading books in their book bags every day, so that we can read with them when the opportunity arises.
