Weekly Timetable 

Here are important things to remember each week: (Any changes to our weekly timetable will always be shared with parents via our text message system)

Class timetable Autumn 

Your child will need to come to school in their  PE kit into school on Monday, Thursday and Friday with Mr Carrington this half term. 

Monday – your child will bring home their Rhino Reader Phonics book for the week – aim to read this book with your child at least 3 times in the week to ensure we can change your book the following week.

New spellings will be sent home in your child's green Spelling book each Monday.

Thursday – your child will bring home an additional reading book matched to their current Phonics and reading level of learning – aim to read this book a few times over the weekend with your child!

Weekly Spelling tests will be every Friday.

Friday – children will choose and bring home a book to enjoy with their families from our KS1 and class libraries. Please return this book the following Friday.

Homework will be sent home every Friday and due in the following Wednesday.

HOMEWORK

 Homework will be sent home on a Friday to be handed in by the following week.  Homework will alternate between learning logs and English/Maths homework. English and Maths will focus on the week's learning and learning logs will have a focus around our topics or any special events which may be happening within our community or nationally.

 We will still be sending home the traditional learning log books but we will also be replicating this homework on the Seesaw app. It is a choice whether you wish to complete the homework in the book or online. Every child has been given a QR code and can be accessed through the Seesaw CLASS app. This homework will be in addition to spellings. We may also send home some extra phonics work from time to time and later in the year we will begin to send home times tables to learn.

 New spellings will be sent home on a Monday ready for our spelling test on a Friday. Our spelling words will link with the sounds we have learnt in phonics during that week. Please help your children to learn their spellings at home too. Also, please make sure you send the little green book back into school every Monday to allow the children to be able to write their new spellings into them, ready to practice at home! Each week, a new video will be updated to help your child practice their spellings at home in the Super Spellers playlist on my YouTube Channel 'Mrs G's Little Lessons', which can be found here:

Regular uploads to help you learn at home focusing on Maths skills as well as reading skills will also be updated to my channel - why not have a go at some of these online little lessons too?
