NB: Let your class teacher know if there is a problem with the MyMaths homework.

NB2: We are hoping to be holding our annual conker championship next Thursday afternoon: please collect and send in any conkers you come across - we don't have enough from our school trees this year!

Thank you for coming along to our parent-teacher meetings this week. If you were unable to make it, one of the recurring themes of the meetings was questions about the new homework. Here is the current expectation:

• Maths: Work is set on MyMaths.co.uk and children have been given a school login and their own login details, which should be stuck in the front of their reading record. The work is set on Friday and due the following Friday. It should take between 10 and 15 minutes to complete.
• Spellings: There is no change here. Children log into their Spelling Shed accounts (as last year) and complete their spelling practice. This should take around ten minutes.
• Reading: children should read five times a week. Even in Year Six, they should be reading to an adult at home. This should be recorded in their reading record.
• TTRS is no longer set as homework; however, it is still available if children feel that they need to practise their timetables. We have recommend ed to children that they still use it to keep on top of their timetable fluency.

In history this week, we looked at evacuation during WW2 and discussed a range of historical sources (from first person recounts to newspaper articles). We continued with our ukulele, learning a new chord to increase our repertoire. In tag rugby, we have been having some competitive games, whilst also building confidence and skills.

Have a great weekend,

Mr Craig & Mr Daly

Homework:

Each week, children will be expected to:

• complete the MyMaths homework set online (and complete their maths sheet starting in the Spring Term)
• practise spellings (using Spelling Shed) set online
• read at least five times a week (preferably to an adult!)

All of the children should be able to log in to MyMaths, TTRS and Spelling Shed as we have had a practice in school to ensure they know what they're doing! If you have any issues, please let us know sooner rather than later!
