Dear Parents,

This week's homework is as follows:

Spellings

To be tested on Monday 12th May:

Group 1: girl, thread, bread, sound, annoy

Group 2: girl, out, joy

To be tested on Monday 19th May:

Group 1: child, later, baking, show, music

Group 2: mind, later, show

Every Monday, the children will bring home their red spellings book. The spellings to be learnt for the following Monday will be stuck in the back of this book. Please do not practise the spellings in this book, as it is for use in school only.

Maths

Where possible, we would like the children to practise their number facts at home! They can use the following platforms to do so:

Hit the Button - This can be found on Google and is also available on to download on App Store or Google Play.

White Rose: 1 Minute Maths - This can be downloaded on both the App Store or Google Play.

On Hit the Button, we would like the children to strive towards fluency in the following areas:

• Number bonds → Up to 10 → Make 10 or Addition within 10
• Doubles → Doubles to 10
• Halves → Halves to 10

On 1 Minute Maths, we would like the children to practise the following objectives:

• 1 to 6 from the Addition section
• 1 to 6 from the Subtraction section

We would like you to encourage your children to access these platforms on a regular basis.

Reading books

Every Tuesday, your child will bring a new reading book home that they will focus on in school throughout the week. Please ensure you are reading regularly with your child at home to support their learning. We would appreciate it if you could write a brief comment in their reading record each time a home reading session has been completed.

PE lessons

Please note that the children's PE lessons will take place on Thursday and Fridays during the Summer term.

Twycross Zoo trip

The consent forms for this trip have now been handed out. Please return them to school as soon as possible to indicate your child's lunch choice. Thanks!

Best wishes,

Mr Storer and Mrs Johnston
