Reading & Home Learning
Children should be reading five times a week at home to support their reading progression. This will also boost their self-esteem and love of reading. We will be checking Boom Reader on a Monday morning, but they need to bring their reading books into school every day.
Please practice times tables every week. Times tables underpin a child's ability to develop mathematically in all areas.
