Reading: 10-15 minutes per night. It is REALLY important that you develop this habit to help to speed up your reading and also improve your comprehension. Please be sure to read OFTEN at home.
Spelling: Read, Spell and Apply
- Read the word
- Spell the word using ‘Look, cover, write, check’
- Apply using the words correctly in context in sentences
My Maths: My Maths is a great way to improve your development at home and at school. Have fun completing the homework activities.
Maths: Times Tables Rock Stars
Boost your recall of times tables and confidence in maths.
