Homework
Each friday homework will be sent home. We ask for your input in the homework as we love to hear what your child has been learning and doing at home. We will also include a talking homework discussing key vocabulary for the next weeks learning. This is to be done in the child's first langauge. Please take a few moments to write a comment about your child's achievements. We can celebrate this during key worker time.
Homework will be given in a homework book each friday. Phonics and maths work will be set consolidating the topics taught in class each week. All homework is be handed in by the following Wednesday.
