Reading
Reading books are sent home and changed weekly. Once a week we will send home a class author book for you to share together. Please support your child to complete a book review. Children who complete 10 book reviews by the end of the school year receive a special reward!
Please remember to write in and date their reading record book. We would like the children to read at least three times per week. Please ensure that your child brings their book bag, reading book and reading record into school every day.
To support with reading please use the Blank Levels of Questioning in the document below:
blank-levels-of-questioning-for-reading-comprehension
Marion Blank’s levels of language distinguish between the different levels of questioning, which become increasingly more difficult. These levels are naming, describing, retelling and justifying. This document is extremely useful if it is mentioned in your child’s Speech and Language report.
After School Clubs
Children can access a range of after school clubs according to their year group. Please read the letters and newsletter sent home throughout the year to find out about these.

Homework
As well as reading at home three times per week, Class 9 children are given spellings every Monday. Please practise these in their spelling books at least three times per week, as they will be tested every Monday morning. Children must practise their spellings in pencil and will be given Class Dojo points for presenting their work well and using their best handwriting. Additional work may be sent home that matches your child’s personalised curriculum or SEN targets, so please check your child’s book bag regularly.
PE and Occupational Therapy
P.E. is on a Tuesday afternoon and the children will require appropriate footwear in their PE bag at all times. The school will provide a PE kit for your child. If your child has their ears pierced they will need to be removed by your child, teachers cannot support your child with this. Can we ask for all uniform, including coats, shoes and outer clothing to be clearly named. This not only helps the children with their independence, but it is their responsibility to look after their own possessions.
We complete Occupational Therapy and sensory regulation activities in the school hall every day. Please ensure that your child is dressed appropriately to take part in physical exercise each day.
Here are some OT exercises you can try at home with the whole family. It is only a 7 minute workout!
Please keep in touch…
We know that children learn everywhere, all of the time. We would love to hear about what the children have been learning at home. If your child has achieved something outside of school we would love to hear about your child’s achievement. Children are encouraged to bring in photographs, medals, or anything of interest so that they can tell their classmates all about it!
