2026 – Please continue to focus on your MULTIPLICATION TABLES, even if your child knows all 12 what the high school would like us to work on is quicker recall. at home could children download a free app on their device or go onto www.topmarks.co.uk and play Hit the Button.
Focus on the table they are least confident with and try and beat their own score! If they did 5 minutes a day on their tables that would be fantastic.
HOMEWORK – Reading homework, Reciprocal Reading Task plus set pages. lunes (Monday), martes (Tuesday), miercoles (Wednesday), jueves (Thursday) – reading will be issued on the day of the week and is due that day the following week. Please note – ALL READING BOOKS SHOULD BE IN THE CHILD/REN’s BAGS EVERYDAY as we will also use these in class for various literacy tasks.
