How to support your child at home
Reading - please support your child by encouraging them to read daily. There is also still huge value in reading with your child at this age.
Phonics - we are using RWInc from September 2024 on, please find more details (including activities) on the reading curriculum tab.
Maths - alongside the maths homework please also look at 'maths around us'. This is looking at where maths is in everyday life, for example angles on open doors, patterns in the colours of cars in car parks, using rounding and estimation for the total value of items when shopping
