How you can help your child with their learning:

Use the Knowledge Organisers (at the bottom of this page) to help your child learn the information we are exploring in class.
Encourage them to complete their homework each week to become ready for the expectations of secondary school next year.
Continue to read and sign reading diaries to achieve merits - these will be stamped weekly. Reading is such an important aspect in our learning!
Help your child with their times tables if they need to practise – Times Tables Rockstars.
Keep an eye on our school Twitter page to see what we have been getting up to! @NectonY6
