An adult must sign it at least once a week. Remember it doesn’t always have to be their school book. Reading records and reading books should be sent into school daily. |

At present children should have learnt their 2, 5, 10 and 3 times tables in school. This is a great video to help learn the 3's and a good channel for the other times tables: click here.
There will be weekly tournaments running from Wednesday to Wednesday.

- Play Times Tables Rockstars 4 times a week (see the parent guide at the foot of this page). Click here.
- Practise spellings daily (see question prompts at the foot of this page). Spellings are further down this page and in your child's reading record.
- Handwriting click here for a link to resources we use in school. These can be printed off at home and practiced.
