Welcome
We have an exciting year planned with lots of hands on experiences, problem solving, challenges and some wonderful visits. We welcome parental involvement in the life of our school. If you are able to visit the school or help in any way, please contact your child’s class teacher.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to phone us, make an appointment or see us before or after school.

Knowledge Organisers
Homework expectations can be seen here
| Year group | HomeworkAt the beginning of each half term, the Knowledge Organiser for the Imaginative Learning Project (ILP) is sent home for all year groups. This is also available on the school website. Any of the optional homework tasks are extra tasks that can be completed if desired.
White Rose Practice Journals and CGP books should be marked at home by parents/carers. Teachers will then look over the books at school and work with children addressing key areas.

Supporting your child
All children have access to a wide variety of books. Children have the opportunity to choose a book of their choice for reading for pleasure and will be provided with a book or text levelled at their ability for their Guided Reading group. Parents can support their children's learning through reading with them every day, taking children to the local library to read about our themes, and by practising maths with them.
Book Clubs: Children will be given the opportunity to choose a book, along with the rest of their book club group, from our book club library. This book will be read during school time and will be a quality text to suit their reading level. The children will work with their teacher once per week reading from and discussing the book whilst answering comprehension questions on what they have read so far.
Wider Reading: The children have the opportunity to choose a book of their choice from either the school or their class library to encourage reading for pleasure and to strengthen their reading skills. (They can, of course, bring a book from home for free reading in school but it is their responsibility not to lose it!) You can support your child’s learning by reading with and to them as often as possible and using a variety of texts, including magazines, comics and auditory texts.
Other Homework: Little, often and fun is the key! Especially for core knowledge of spellings and retention of basic number facts. See the table on the Y3/4 page for how often this homework is set but we encourage all parents to routinely practise with their children.
Please remember, if you need help or ideas on how to support your child with their homework, please see your child’s teacher who will be happy to help.
