Our policy is to send home words to be learnt or a reading book to be read and enjoyed or number facts to be practised. This happens regularly and we hope you will set aside regular quality time with your child.

Accompanying the child's reading book is a 'Reading Record '. Not only is this used to keep a record of the books read, it is also a means of commenting on your child's literacy. Please help us by making sure that you sign this book when you hear your child read, and feel free to add comments.

Sometimes these comments may be those of the child. We would ask you to be positive with your comments as this will help your child. If you have any concerns please see the teacher.

As time passes, children will begin reading these books to themselves. Try to get them to tell you about what they are reading

The children may also begin to bring home spellings and X table patterns, number facts and Maths games to be learnt and played. Please give them as much encouragement as possible and sign the Log.

Any unfinished work may also be sent home to be completed and children are encouraged to bring things from home to discuss/support the work. We hope family visits will be made to places of interest to support your child's learning. We hope children will 'find things out', 'look for things', 'bring items in for displays' etc. This part of the home school activities may take a further 10 -15 minutes.
