Welcome to Peake class!  We love to hear of the children’s achievements at home, so please do share these with us on Tapestry.

How to help at home

 Reading

Please try to read with your child every day if possible and note it in their reading record when you do. Books are changed one team per day.

 Writing

Try to encourage your child to practise their letter formation at home.. Help them to understand the purpose and importance of writing by drawing their attention to when you are writing and showing them what you are doing – shopping lists, notes, thank you cards, etc.

Maths

Involve your child in everyday counting (how many socks are in the laundry pile?; how many biscuits are on the plate?), estimating (how many pieces of fruit do you think there are in the fruit bowl?) and counting out objects from a larger group (can you get four spoons from the cutlery drawer for pudding?). Play board games to reinforce recognition of dice numbers. Draw your child’s attention to number, shape and patterns in the environment.
