Your child has been set homework tasks for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday night.

I explained in last week’s blog that we have decided that all completed worksheets should be kept at home (until further notice), to keep everyone safe. Your child was originally provided with a red folder to keep their worksheets in. This red folder can now be kept at home so that you can keep your child’s completed work in here.

Today your child will have a new clear plastic zippy wallet which will be used to send worksheets home on a Monday. This helps to protect worksheets from getting wet or crumpled in their school bag. Could I please ask that you take out the worksheets and send the plastic wallet back to school empty on a Tuesday. These will be sanitised and given out again on the following Monday.

The children really enjoyed learning their first sounds and common words last week. They also loved practising reading their first book. This book will be sent home for homework this week. Please return the reading book to school on Thursday.

Could you please encourage your child to practise their reading book each night.

Get six items such as beads, pegs or even small toys. Roll a dice then select that amount from your pile, e.g. if you roll a 4 on a dice, count out four items. Then put them back into the pile and roll again. If you don’t have a dice at home, don’t worry! You can click the link and use the online dice below.
