Dear Parents and Carers,

Updates for week beginning Monday 29th June 2026

Tuesday - I will be out for PPA/ECT time from for the morning only. Supply to cover.

Thank you.

Homework

This is to be completed weekly and consists of:

• Reading at home (4 times or more per week would be amazing!)
• Reading records should be brought into school every day but must be in on a Thursday as this is when we count the children's reads for the week.
• Spelling Shed - children will be set weekly homework to consolidate the week's learning. They should be accessing this for the homework but also a wide range of education games based around their spelling 4 times a week.
• TTRS - (4 times or more per week would again be brilliant!) These do not need to be much longer than 3 minutes per day - little and often! We will sometimes have times table "battles" against other classes so please encourage your children to have a go!

Percentages of children who do each of the above 4 times a week or more are read out in our Celebration Assembly each week and dojos are on offer for these so please encourage your children to have a go.
