They will stay in these clothes for the rest of the day and return home in them. We expect children to be wearing a plain white top/t-shirt with black jogging bottoms/leggings/shorts and black trainers or pumps. 2M’s PE day is indoor on Mondays and outdoor on Tuesdays. 2L’s PE day is indoor on Mondays and outdoor on Thursdays. Homework Your child take home their homework on a Friday each week. They will have one piece of Mathematics, one piece of Literacy and their weekly spellings. We kindly ask that your child brings their homework back on the following Wednesday, which then gives staff time to review it as well as organize homework for the following week. Children who bring in their homework on time will be rewarded with Dojos! The spelling test for each class will take place every Friday. Reading books Your child will be sent home with 3 reading books to read. Your child should be reading at least a couple of pages each night. When your child has read their ‘shared reading book’ they can bring it back on any day of the week so they can choose a new one. Your child will receive 2 new Read Write Inc. books every Thursday. It is very important that your child brings back their RWI books on Thursday so that staff can change them. This way, the books they read at home will mirror the books they have in school which will help them with their development. Please ensure you that you sign your child’s reading record to confirm they have read the books before handing them back in. Online learning Technology has become a fantastic resource for education and we encourage the children to use this where they can. The school have subscriptions to the following websites: Mathletics: https://login.mathletics.com/ TT Rockstars: https://play.ttrockstars.com/auth/school/student You will find the log in for these inside your child’s homework book. Alternatively, ask your child’s teacher for more information and they can guide you.
