Continue to read each day at home for a period of at least 20 minutes and the children should record this in their reading diaries with a parent initial.

Some children have brought home Maths practice workbooks to work through at home in preparation for their SATs tests.  There is no need to bring any questions they complete back to school, but please do encourage them to complete work so that they feel as prepared as they can be.  All the questions in these books are on topics they have already been taught in school.  

Your child will have brought home a Reading Record this week.  This is to be used by themselves, you as parents/carers, and teaching staff in school.  Please encourage them to record daily reading sessions at home, and then add your initials to confirm that they have done this.  We expect all children to read every day at home in addition to any reading they do in school.  Your support with this is vital to embed good routines for your children, and it is widely known that those children reading regularly at home experience accelerated progress in all areas of their schooling.  It is the children's responsibility to look after this book and bring it to school each day along with their reading book.  Thank you for your support.
