Learning bags and library
Don't forget to bring your learning bag every day!
The children can change their books regularly during daily Guided Reading sessions. Please comment on their reading in their home/school reading diary.
We also visit the school library on Thursday afternoons, and children can change library books to take home.
Please read with your child as often as you can.
Certificates
In Year 2, children receive at least one certificate per term for their achievements.
Homework
From Year 1 upwards, children receive a home-school learning grid every two weeks. There is also online Sumdog homework.
Reading with your child is the most valuable way that you can support their learning - we cannot overemphasise this!
