Useful information:

• Our PE lessons are on Monday and Wednesday afternoons. Please make sure your child arrives in school in their PE kits. You may wish to layer some warmer clothing for our outdoor sessions, particularly when the weather is colder.
• Spellings will be tested every Friday. 10 new spellings will be sent home each week on a Monday (stuck into reading diaries as well as on class story on Dojo). A weekly spelling game will be available on Spelling Shed to help the children learn in a fun way. Below are some useful spelling links:
• 

• Times tables will be tested every Wednesday. Children will be given 5 minutes to complete multiplication facts up to and including the 12 times table. Once the children are competent at this, they will move on to multiplying decimals. Please encourage and support your children in learning their times tables as this knowledge is key to other areas of learning in maths.

• English and Maths homework will be set on a Monday. This should be returned by the following Monday.
• Children are encouraged to read at home, to an adult, at least three times a week. House points are awarded to children who have read five times in a week and certificates are awarded every 25 reads.
