Apologies the homework on Education City went live late, I had set the wrong date

The Phonics books that came home yesterday (red/ green) they are old YR books. They are are to stay home for you to keep (if you want). They are not needed in school.

Many Thanks

PAINTING SHIRTS NEEDED!

If you have any old shirts at home that you are thinking of throwing away, could you please consider Y1 first. We need them for painting and other messy activities.

Thank You

Welcome back to the Summer term!!

We hope you all had a lovely Easter break and a well deserved rest.

Lots will be happening this term so please keep an eye out for the news letter that will be on here by the end of the week

16.4.24 Homework

New homework has been set now.

You will notice your child has a red book, this is their spelling book that MUST be returned every Monday for them to complete the test each Monday.

Your child has their own login for a new site we are using, Seesaw. All phonics support will be added on here each week. Please actively use it as the resources will benefit their learning in preparation for the Phonics Screening test that is in June.

Any issues please let me know.

Thanks

HOMEWORK

This is through Education City for their Maths and English. It will be set alternative weeks. PLEASE ONLY COMPLETE 1 ACTIVITY, not all of them need to be done. Your child can choose any they want to do.

Anything else I set on there is additional, this is not compulsory, just something linked to their topic work.

On the weeks nothing is set online they will have written work to complete for the following week - this could be topic related.

We are using a new website called SeeSaw and the logins are inside the children's new red homework books. This is where you can access everything Phonics related and videos they can watch to strengthen their phonics skills.

Spellings are weekly - test every Monday. Please return red homework book each Monday.

It is compulsory they bring their homework book back in on the Monday as their spelling test will be done it that for it to go home Tuesday. It CANNOT be late, otherwise you will not get to see the test results as it will all be in the same book.

Thank You.
