Each week your child will have homework set which will be expected to be completed by Thursday. There will be homework set in the CGP books for Grammar and Reading Comprehension. These are provided for you. Some weeks there will also be a Maths homework set. 

The most important way to support your child at home is through reading and phonics. We expect each child to read for a minimum of 10 minutes a day. If you have time, try to read with your child and ask them questions about the story they are reading. This quality, dedicated time set aside to read has a huge impact on your children's learning across the curriculum and helps develop a love of reading which can last a lifetime. Please also access the phonics videos, which are uploaded weekly, so you can help your child with their phonic knowledge as well.

Our Class News This Week – 9th March - 13th March 2026

This week in English we have been retelling the story of the snail and the whale by trying to include our punctuation focus adding 'ed' to the end of a root word. We have also been looking at fiction and non-fiction books and discussing what they mean. In Maths we have been learning about numbers to 50 and where they belong on a missing number line by finding the mid-point. In RE we have been learning about Palm Sunday. We made our own plan leaves and re-enacted what happened on that day.  We also learnt about the story of the Widow's mite, thinking about how we can give with our hearts this Lent. Please can you help your child practice these.
