Your child’s PE days this half term will be Wednesday and Friday.

Please remember your child must come to school wearing their full PE kit on these days, earrings removed (staff are unable to remove and children will not be able to join in the lesson if wearing earrings)

Home Learning

Just like last year, your child's home learning will be uploaded weekly to class story on dojo.  This will include spelling words to practice, maths fluency skills, speaking and listening (the big question) and a reading task.  There will also be details of a half-termly creative project for the children to compete over the half term and bring in during the last week of term. 

Children will receive dojos for each completed aspect of their home learning uploade to dojo.  Please see our guidance video here for further information: Home Learning at Glebe

As always, if you need any assistance or resources to help with the completion of home learning, please do let a member of the class team know and we will be happy to help.

Please aim to listen to your child read their school reading book at home 4 times a week (10 minutes per session). 

Please record this on your child’s reading card. The log and reading book must be returned to school each day.

Children will also have a book from the class lending library to enjoy too.

Maths

Please continue to access TT Rockstars to support their times tables.

Practice along with the fluency practice on their home learning sheet.
