Housekeeping

Posted: Sep 27, 2018 by: Greg Hobson (GHobson) on: Class 1

Hi all,

Volunteers

It would be extremely useful if anyone can come in and help out around the school and in class one. We are looking for volunteers to come in to read with children, practice phonics and all-around support the learning. Anyone who has any time whether it be great or small, let myself or Mrs. Cooper know.

Homework

Homework is now fully set up in class one. This will come in four different formats.

A. Spelling shed

Spelling shed is an online app that the children can use independently to further their phonics and spelling knowledge. This will be updated weekly (usually on Fridays) to match our theme of study in school. The children seem to really enjoy using this learning resource!

B. IXL

IXL login details are now stuck to the covers of reading record books. This is another online resource, but this time in support of maths. This will be updated regularly with topics that we are approaching or covering at the time in class. 

C. Schofield and Simms booklets

Schofield and Simms mental arithmetic booklets are now in book bags. Please complete sections throughout the year as directed from here on the blog. 

D. Reading

Please try to read with your child as much as you can. Remember to write in reading record books too, as we will not change books that have not been read at home.

The four methods of homework will overlap, but don't let this stress you out! It is more about finding interesting and different ways to further study at home and less about having it done by a certain day!

Thank you all for your ongoing support! 

Have a great weekend!

Mr H.
