Homework
Reading is the most important activity you can do at home with your child. Please try to read for 10 minutes each day, but at least three times a week. This will help your child to learn new vocabulary, read fluently and hopefully develop a love for books.
PurpleMash and Mathletics homework will also be set, and we will start this once the children are settled into Year Two.
