Dear Parents/Carers, 

Thank you for supporting your children with their regular reading, spellings and maths work at home.

Regular reading in particular is really helping the children to access their learning more independently, apply new vocabulary and articulate some super ideas across all areas of the curriculum.

Homework expectations for children in Rowan Class: 

Reading

Please read daily with your child.

This can be your child reading to you and reading their banded reading book or a free choice of another book.

It is important that your child can read their banded reading book 90% confidently and independently to help with their understanding of what they are reading. This will mean they will need to read it 3 or 4 times.

Children will be given two books each week.  They will need to read the books 3 or 4 times on separate days in that week.

Spellings

There are two spelling groups.

ELS spellings that follow the ELS Phonics Curriculum and Purple Mash Spellings that follow the National Curriculum.

Year 1 and Year 2 children will be given spellings on a Friday.

The children will be tested on these spellings on the following Friday.

Maths

Please practise number bonds of 5, 10 and 20.

We will also be practising counting in 2s, 5s and 10s.  This will lead into the times tables for 2s, 5s and 10s and beyond.

Children have been given logins for Numbots and TT Rockstars.  Games, activities and tasks will increase in difficulty at the level your child shows competency at each activity.   

Please logon and play!
