At Home:

TEAMS - Please make sure that you regularly check the Class TEAMs page. Assignments and Right Write homework will appear on here for the children to complete. Please contact the school if you have problems logging in.

Reading - Reading is such an important part of a child's learning and can help them in all areas of curriculum.   Confident readers become confident writers!

 Children are expected to read at home at least five times a week.  

Times Table Rock Stars – children that have been using this regularly at home are making real improvements with their recall of multiplication and division facts. Please allow your child to access the website or app regularly at home as it is having a noticeable impact for those using it regularly. Children are encouraged to go on TTRS at least three times a week.
