Home Learning to be handed in on Wednesday 14^th October 2026

In Maths this week we have revised column addition and subtraction. Work set on Google Classroom will reflect this.

Weekly expectations

Times tables

Reading

Please ensure your children practises their times tables daily on TTRS. This only needs to be for 5/ 10 minutes per day but daily practise is proven to lead to greater fluency.

We will also be using the resource in class whenever we can.

Please ensure your child has read a minimum of 5 times and logged it into their reading record. Reading is the key to them accessing the full curriculum and they will struggle with further learning without the necessary practise.

Other notes/ reminders

• We are reminding the children to respect and look after their possessions as we seem to have many jumpers and jackets being misplaced. Please put their name inside if you haven’t done so already just because it makes it easier to find the right owner.
