Lexia

Thanks again for the continued effort on Lexia with children at home. They are so excited when they receive their certificates in assembly and we can see the difference it makes to their reading.

The website to access this is:

Please encourage your child to login for a few minutes as often as possible. Ideally, each child would complete approximately 40mins a week. The children do login at school, but we are unable to provide them with the amount of time they really need to benefit fully from the program. Please record in their Reading Record when they have used it.

Thank you so much for your support with this. It can make a huge difference to your child’s confidence and ability in reading.

Reading

There will be a slight change with reading books next week. We will collect the Little Wandle books in as normal on Tuesday, but the children will not bring another Little Wandle book home. Instead, the children will be given a couple of reading books to keep over the summer holidays and bring back in September. Please try to keep reading a priority over the summer holidays. The children were all excited to hear about the Summer Reading Challenge in yesterday’s assembly, so give that a go!

Please record ALL reading in your child’s reading record so that we can see that reading, story sharing or other reading for pleasure has taken part every day at home.

Reading records and reading books are expected to be bought into school every day to be monitored and to record when your child has read in school.

Spellings

There will be no spelling test next week.

Maths

We’re about to start the final unit of our maths learning this year. Next week we will be focusing on telling the time. The children would all really benefit from practicing this over the summer holidays as this is a skill which often takes a considerable amount of time to master! They are learning how to tell the time to half and hour using an analogue clock. Please encourage them to have a go at reading the time throughout the summer. There is no specific homework, just try and bring it into everyday conversations if you can. Thank you so much.

Here is the video to accompany the learning:
