Snacks: You may bring a snack of either fresh fruit/salad, plain popcorn, plain breadsticks or plain rice cakes. Please remember not to provide snacks that contain dairy or nuts due to the children with allergies being on the playground.  

Drinks: Children are to bring in a labelled, refillable water bottle daily. No juice or cordials.

Please remember to label all items of school uniform, including any home clothing brought into school or worn for clubs

 

Homework

Homework will be set on Monday by 4pm. The children will have a pink homework exercise book to record their homework. 

Children will be set three English tasks and three Mathematics tasks, not including daily reading. Our recommendation is that children complete Task 1 for English and Maths on Tuesday, Task 2 for both on Wednesday and Task 3 for both on Thursday. This short, frequent style of homework will support children to consolidate their learning. However, this is not compulsory and timing of homework can be managed accordingly to suit family schedules. 

Children are expected to either mark alongside a parent/carer or use the answers provided to self-mark.

Marked homework is handed in on Friday.

Record your reading in your 'Red Reading Records'.  You must bring your reading record and reading books to school each day. 

 

Additional Information

Multiplication Test

In the summer term 2026 - the children will be sitting a multiplication times tables test. They will be asked lots of questions and be given approximately 6 seconds to answer. This is why daily practice of the different times tables needs to be learnt off by heart so they can be answered automatically. We have set up weekly times table battles on TT Rock Stars which we would strongly recommend the children take part in. They can also practice individually using TT Rock stars or using the Mathsframe multiplication checker which replicates the test the children will be given. To complete the times tables test the children need to answer all the questions correctly which is very tricky, so the more they practice the better prepared they will be! 

Here is a link to practice your timetables:
