To support your children with the school learning, they have access to our online learning platforms:
Education City
Timestable Rockstars
Spelling Shed
Thank you for all of your support.
Please ensure pupils also practise their spellings and read frequently throughout the week.
Homework will be given out on Thursdays and should be completed by the following Thursday. Sometimes, homework will need to be completed online (for example using education city). Other times, pupils will be given a physical copy to take home. For spellings, please see the Class 4 Spelling page. Please check for weekly homework below.
All homework for this half term is on Education City. It will become Live every Thursday and will go offline the following Thursday - Login to Education City and access the homework section. If you are unable to access Education City at home, please let school know and we can arrange other forms of homework.
- At least 10 minutes of daily reading of their school book (this should be recorded in their homework diary).
- Discuss the text your child is reading, questioning their understanding. Advice on how to read effectively with your child can be found here: https://www.pearson.com/content/dam/one-dot-com/one-dot-com/uk/documents/Learner/Primary/Primary%20parents/Pearson_EnjoyReading_03.pdf
- Access Bug Club online, and answer the variety of interactive questions based on the eBook they are reading.
Activities for Spelling

Activities for Maths
