Spelling homework is set on a Friday, to be tested the following Friday. Times tables are worked on regularly during the week at school, and we would encourage lots of practise at home, ideally through use of Times Tables Rockstars. Fluency and speed of recollection of multiplication and division facts are absolutely key to mathematical success throughout Key Stage 2

We expect that reading records are brought into school every day - Mrs Blackwell will check these each morning for messages and to check that the children are changing their own books when needed. Once your child has moved beyond the colour banded books, they are free to choose their own reading material either from the library at school or from home. The children will have weekly lessons focussing on reading comprehension skills, with those who need extra support reading frequently 1:1 with an adult. The current reading challenge is stuck into your child's reading record, so that you can tick off and date the tasks that they have completed.
