Curriculum Overview

Homework

We expect children to do the following every week for their homework:

Read at home every night. Please see our read a rainbow letter for more information.
Weekly spellings will be sent home for the children to learn for a test on Fridays.
Phonics revision will be sent home to help consolidate in class learning.

Reading

The children all have a Phonics reading book. Please ensure that this comes to school everyday. The expectation is that every child reads their reading books at least 5 times a week. This is to ensure they develop their decoding skills, build up fluency and can comprehend what they have read. Phonic reading books will be changed once a week.

Maths

In Maths, we follow the White Rose programme. We have daily Mastering Number sessions which aim to strengthen the understanding of numbers and fluency with number facts, among children in the first three years at school.
