How You Can Support Your Child at Home

Reading

Children are expected to read at least four times a week, as reading forms the foundation for all other learning. Please record their reading in their reading diary and ensure it is signed by an adult each week. To further support their progress, you can use the comprehension sentence stems available on the school website to help deepen their understanding. Spend time discussing what your child has read and exploring any new vocabulary they have encountered.

Spellings
Spelling rules are explicitly taught in class. New spelling lists will be sent home every Friday and tested the following Friday. The spelling lists for each half term are available on the school website for your reference.

Homework
Homework will be sent home on Fridays and should be completed and returned by the following Wednesday. Children who do not return their homework by Thursday will attend Homework Club during break time with a teacher. Further details about homework for the upcoming term will be shared after the parent information meeting.

Thank you for your ongoing support in your child’s learning journey!
