English and Maths
Both core subjects will be taught in their class by the class teacher, who will be supported by the teaching assistant.
Homework
Spellings (in Green books), TTRS and reading of their individual books should be completed daily. They will also be given an additional piece of SATs preparation activities in the Spring Term. All children have log ins for TTRS. These need to be completed daily, to ensure the children get the best opportunities to succeed.

Reading Books.
Reading books are changed weekly.
Please either read with your child or encourage them to read independently nightly for at least 20 minutes each time.
Please encourage the children to read a wide range of books, any reading is better than no reading at all.
Reading books must be in school every day so that their progress can be monitored.
The children may also need to read to an adult during the day.
PE Kits.
Children have double PE once a week. Please ensure that all children have the correct PE kit- which comprises of plain white T.Shirt, plain black leggings/joggers, plain black hoody/jacket and plain black trainers .
PE lessons are on Fridays each week.
SOME PE WILL BE OUTDOORS - PLEASE ENSURE CHILDREN HAVE SUITABLE CLOTHING IN THEIR KIT.
(THIS MUST INCLUDE TRAINERS AND A WARM JACKET).
Some children will also need a change of clothes for Forest School and outdoor learning during the course of the year, you will be informed if your child is taking part in Forest School.
Don't forget that PE kit needs to be worn for any after school sport clubs too, so must be available for those.
