Home Learning
Thank you to everyone who is managing to record in the reading journal each week- we really appreciate it. Your child should have a new reading book each week. It is the children's responsibility to change their reading for pleasure picture book when ever they are ready.
Please remember work on key words as well as the reading book. Key words are so important. Write them on post-its- stick them everywhere and refer to them throughout the week- not just reading time, it all helps.
And remember don't feel you have to read the entire book in one go. You could read alternate pages if that helps- it keeps the pace of the book going and you are modelling as you read.
At the moment we do not have set days to change reading books (may change in the future) so please send in ALL reading books and folders on a daily basis (it won't necessarily be changed though- we aim for once a week).
There is no need to send in the picture book each day just return it when you are ready for another one and the children can put it back in our library and choose another.
If you know your child needs work on number and letter formation this can also be reinforced at home. We find different pens and writing materials can be a way in with this. They could practise writing their key words each week too. Little and often is the key.
In Maths you could reinforce what we are doing each week as well as bringing number into everyday life such as counting, telling the time, measuring, recognising numbers out and about etc
