How you can help your child with their learning:
- Encourage your child to check they have everything they will need in school each day (especially a reading book and their ‘Reading Record’). Reading Records will be checked every Monday - remember for every 10 reads your child will receive a merit for their chart.
- Use the Knowledge Organisers (at the bottom of this page) to help your child learn the information we are exploring.
- Discuss the school day with your child – ask them what they’ve been learning about , check out our twitter feed @NectonY5
- Hear your child read and discuss the story with them, asking questions about what has happened.
- Practise times tables and spellings. Children will learn spelling patterns in school but will need to practice the spellings at home, for testing in the last week of half term.
Other things to remember:
- We will be doing PE on Mondays and Wednesdays. Please make sure your child comes to school in their kit for these days. PE will be outside when possible, so they will need to wear something appropriate for the weather.
- Children need to remove earrings for PE lessons (or cover with tape if they cannot be removed)
- Please remember to name all school uniform.
- Please ensure hair is tied up at all times.
