Home Learning

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

Sometimes children will be asked to complete research or a project at home.

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.  If they are to make the progress needed, they should be reading for at least 20 minutes every day.

We are continuing to use an online handwriting programme called Letter Join which you can find out about at https://www.letterjoin.co.uk/

Children will be given their own individual log-in details for all of these.  Where appropriate, additional tasks may also be set via class dojo
