Please find attached this half term's newsletter and topic homework.
Topic homework is optional but we always enjoy seeing photographs of it once it is complete.

Children who do not access this homework at home will be supported to complete their times tables and spellings for a few minutes during Golden Time on a Thursday afternoon.
Golden time is 30 minutes of 'free time' where children can choose to draw, read or complete other supervised activities. This takes place between 2:30pm and 3:00pm.
Reading books
Reading books will be changed only when we read with your child and are confident that they can read it fluenty (so no sounding out or breaking down into smaller chunks) and with a good level of comprehension. We will ask them very specific questions about the meaning of vocabulary, to recall specific facts from the text or even ask etc. There is no point moving onto another book if they aren't reading their current book fluenty and with a good level of understanding. These books are matched to their current, assessed phonics groups level so focusing on these is the best way to ensure rapid progress.
All children will have the option of changing their library books weekly.
