Reading Books

Everyday we participate in 'everyone reading in class' time so please ensure you bring the book you are currently reading to school every day. An adult will hear you read in school however it is still essential to continue reading at home .Please sign and date your reading record so we know when you have read at home. Talk about the books you are reading with someone at home and ask them to ask you questions about what you have read.

Homework

We encourage all chidlren to regularly practice the recall of times tables facts. Aim for short, frequent practice sessions of about 5-10 minutes. We recomend your child focuses on one table at a time. Concentrate on mastering one times table before moving on to the next.  Use a mix of approaches to keep it engaging, such as chanting, writing them out, using flashcards, apps, or multiplication charts. Once a table is learned, practice answering questions in a random order to improve recall.
