The homework will be linked to what the children have been learning about that week or will prepare them for what they are about to learn. They will receive 1 piece of English and 1 piece of Maths homework.

Spellings will also be within the homework tab on our Class Page. 

The children will all have  'Times Table Rockstars' to practice times table fluency- please encourage your child to play on this app/website when possible. 

Reading

Please try and read with your child 5 times a week, this can be for 10 minutes whilst they settle into bed! Please remember to sign your child's reading record so we know they have read! It is still really important that your child practices the skill of reading aloud!

Autumn Focus Reading Book is Shackleton's Journey by William Grill: 

In August 1914, Ernest Shackleton and his brave crew set out to cross the frozen wastes of Antarctica, in what was to be the last expedition of the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. Ahead of them lay unimaginable danger - ferocious seas, uncharted mountains, ice and snow. This is the true story of how Shackleton and his companions endured the hardships they faced, and ultimately managed to survive their perilous adventure.
