Home Learning
At Delce Academy we encourage our children to:
Read every evening and record this in their reading record
Learn their spellings for the week
Practice their Times Tables daily using TTRS or the worksheet provided
There will also be 6 home learning activities set for the term. These activity ideas are optional but we advise your encouragement as it will further support your child in continuing their love of learning outside of the classroom. Your child can complete as many of the activities as they would like and bring their work in to share with their class.

This is available for the children to play on to practise their timetables and number bots using Number bots
P.E:
Children will change at school so please ensure children have an appropriate sports kit for the weather. PE days for individual classes will be sent home via Arbor.
