Top Dog! (Or Turtle)
This is awarded to the children who make the most effort on their homework.
Our expectation is for Year 1 to spend at least 20 minutes on their homework and
Year 2 to spend at least 30 minutes on their homework.
Are you reaching for the stars to become this week's 'Top Dog' for homework?
See each class page for this some Top Dogs!
Please feel free to contact the KS1 team if your child is unsure about how to complete the homework: we are always happy to help.
Please remind your child that their homework must be handed in each Monday morning.
Finally, your child will receive ‘crystals’ for their team and a star to add to their Star Reader board if they read more than four times a week, and complete their weekly homework, so don’t forget to sign their Reading Record!
Phonics Screening: - The week of 10th June
- This test is for all Year 1 children and the Year 2 children who didn't pass the screening in June 2023.
- It will be carried out over a week.
- The children will be screened one at a time and will have a mixture of real words and alien words.
- Mrs Partridge/Mrs Bird and Mr Fletcher have devised some useful packs of past papers and sound mats.
- Please follow our Little Wandle Link to support your child with their Phonics Home Learning
