Students will:

• Be expected to complete a daily reading log to show that they have read or been read to for 20 minutes on a daily basis. I would like you to encourage your child to read a variety of texts at home such as stories, poems, newspaper articles, recipes, leaflets, posters, maps, comics, magazines, and T.V guides.
• Be expected to complete 3 other tasks from the home learning grid sheet. This may include; describing a cultural or sports activity they have been involved with that week, completing a job around the house, doing a good deed for someone, teaching their family something that they have learnt at school recently etc. These choices will change on a regular basis in order to keep the interest of the students.
• Be expected to visit to complete Mathematics activities that will be set by the class teacher. These activities will support their learning in the classroom. This could be a game that they have been playing in class, a set task on a website, a board game using numbers and problem solving, or the requirement of extra practice with basic facts (such as times tables).
• I may ask your child to complete an extra piece of work occasionally, which will further support our classroom programme at the time. This could be completing research or a presentation for an inquiry, preparing a speech/poetry reading, researching for a current events quiz etc.
