Spelling and times-tables practice
We would like to thank all parents/ carers for their continued support with TT Rockstars and Spelling-shed. It is vital that children are secure with all times tables as this helps with so many areas of mathematics. Additionally, it is important that children are practising their spellings each week and are able to apply the patterns studied to other words. Below are the links for both TT Rockstars and Spelling-Shed.

Seesaw- Reading homework
Following the success of Seesaw during lockdown earlier in the year, we decided we would continue to use this platform to monitor reading. Each week children will be expected to record themselves reading and upload this to Seesaw as a way of improving fluency whilst reading. As well as this, they will be required to complete an activity based on the reading domains to improve their understanding whilst reading and comprehension skills.
