Welcome to Class One's page

                       

 

 

 

 

 

 

    

                   

Each child has been sent home with a letter containing their username and password for 'Purple Mash'. Accessing this website opens up a wide variety of curriculum based activities for the children to complete at home.

Each child has a log in for Bug Club. Bug Club is an amazing way for children to continue to build their love of reading. Books are carefully matched to the child's reading level. They can answer comprehension questions to earn rewards. 

For the reading comprehensions listed below, please read the 60 seconds reading guidance sheet first. For the activity cards, please read these alongside your child. If they are struggling to read it themselves, give them as much help as they need, even if you need to read it aloud first. The important thing is that they are able to listen to and answer the questions verbally. When they have said the answers out loud, get them to try to write them by themselves, do not worry about spelling at this stage.

Take a look at the topic information leaflet to find topic related tasks pupils can complete at home. Upload any photos onto Dojo, so we can share them with the rest of the class. 

 

 

READING

In order to support your child with their learning we ask that you hear them read daily. Reading books will be changed when we feel they can read it fluently and talk about different aspects of the book when prompted. A brief note of how they are doing should be made in their reading record. However, if you have a particular concern about your child's learning, please come in and talk to us so that we can address this as soon as possible.

 

HOMEWORK

Every half term the children are given take home tasks which are linked to their topic. We encourage the children to present their learning in a style that suits them. We hope that the children will find them both enjoyable and valuable.

 

P.E

Children will need to have a complete P.E kit in school (clearly labelled with your child's name) P.E takes place on a Tuesday and Friday. Please make sure your child has a tracksuit or something similar for when the weather gets colder.

 

TOYS

We do not encourage bringing toys to school as this can cause distress if they become lost or broken.

 

We hope you enjoy reading our class page. You will find lots of information on what we will be learning about and how you can support your child with their learning.

• A book bag every day - containing a reading book,reading record, any word or spelling activities that might have been sent home.
