Maths
The maths homework grid should be attached to your homework assignment on TEAMS. Remember to only complete one activity a week, this can be repeated throughout the week as many times as you would like. The activities chosen should be different each week. This is to give the children some variety and to revise concepts taught throughout the term.
Reading
Your child has been issued a new book to read at home. If possible you could discuss the content of the book. You could use the three sharing. For example: what your child liked or disliked about the book, their connections or questions about the story. This helps support your child’s comprehension skills.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch with your child’s teacher.
