How you can help your child…
We believe that any work you do at home with your child should be simple and purposeful. We would ask you to support you child in the following:
Reading- Reading any texts with your child will help improve their fluency and knowledge. We will send home a reading book assessed at their current reading level. We will send home a book for pleasure that can be enjoyed with your child.
Number skills- Basic number skills are a great way to help improve your child’s confidence in maths. We would ask that you support them to play Numbots/ Time Table Rockstars as this will really help their basic skills. Could you also use any spare time, i.e when you are walking or on car journey’s, to chant times tables and ask your child questions related to times tables. We have now worked on the 2’s, 5’s, 10’s, 3’s, 4’s and 8 times tables. These skills will support them in all areas of numeracy.
Spellings- Each week the children will learn a new spelling rule. You could support your child with understanding these rules by helping them to practice them. You could do the look/cover/ write/ check method or even play games such as letter scramble ( mix all the letters up and then put in the correct order) or hangman. Please use the spelling sheets on Tapestry each week to practice the relevant ones linked to the week’s work. Keeping homework fun helps to engage your child and not add any pressure to home life.
If there is anything we can support, you with then please let us know Thanks Carly, Charlotte, Jacqueline and Lucy. |
