Summer Curriculum Focus:

English:

 This term, we will be studying Action, Newspaper Reports and Persuasion. 

Reading Homework:

Please try to read with your child for 10 minutes every day. Short, daily reading is the best way to help your child

progress in this area. The set days to change books for children who are not on 'fluent or free reader' books will

be a Monday and Thursday in both classes.

Please note in your child's reading record when they have read to you and when the book is completed. 

Children, who are free readers, can fill in their record independently but please still try to listen to them read

regularly. 

Reading records and books should be in school bags every day.

Please take a look at these helpful questions to discuss with your child as you are reading to further their

comprehension.

Reading question stems 

Library: 

Children do not need to change their book every week if they are still reading it. If they are still reading, please

do send your child to bring in their library book every two weeks to be re-scanned. This ensures our system

doesn't generate a late notice for them. If their book(s) is/are overdue, they will not be able to borrow books.

Children can take up to two books out.

Spelling Homework:

Homework will be checked each week on a Thursday and spellings changed on a Monday for the new lists. 

Children should access Spelling Shed and complete at least 5 games per week. We will be working on our spellings daily, so practicing at home on Spelling Shed will support them further with this. 

Log ins and passwords are on the inside cover of their yellow reading diary. You will find a QR code in their reading record.

It will link to the spelling patterns the children are learning in class that week. This is online on Spelling Shed.
