Homework
Daily homework: It is important that you are reading every night at home. Remember to ask your parent/carer to write in your reading diary so that we can see how much you are reading at home!
You can also practise your 2,3,5 and 10 times table for maths, make sure you impress your teacher when you can do them! You can use TTRS to help with this as well as Numbots.
Creative homework projects can be found on the reverse of the newsletter, head to that tab for more information.
