Curriculum

For curriculum information, please see the 'Curriculum Overview' at the bottom of this page.

 

Home Learning

Children will receive home learning on a Friday and this should be completed and returned to school the following Wednesday.

Spellings: Children will receive spellings linked to their phonic lessons - these can be found in your child's reading record.  They will be given on a Friday and children will have their spelling quiz the following Friday.  Please check back in their reading record for their scores.

Reading books: Each week, children will bring home two decodable reading books that are carefully selected at their reading level. These books are designed to help them read fluently and understand what they are reading. Please ensure that your child brings their books to school every day, as this allows them to read with adults at school, ensuring they are on the correct book band and being appropriately challenged. Books are changed every Thursday, and we encourage children to read at least three times each week. Re-reading the books is also recommended to help develop their fluency and confidence. If you have any questions or concerns about your child’s reading, please speak to their class teacher.
