Home Learning

Home learning will continue to include reading, maths and weekly spellings, using the following school-based apps and programmes.  

Maths: Home learning will be set as usual, every week via www.mathletics.co.uk and as your child completes it, they will be awarded certificates in achievement assembly on Friday’s.

Reading: Your child will continue to bring books home and we ask that you make time to read with them and listen to their reading.
