In reception, we encourage our parents/carers to support their child’s learning at development at home through the use of fun and engaging actitivties. We will sometimes set homework tasks using Tapestry so that you can upload photos/ videos of your child completing them.
Though we send no formal homework home, we will send home sheets that include the sounds we have learnt during the week with practise activities on them.
As a school, we expect all our children to be reading at home. We send home the children’s phonics book on a Wednesday/ Thursday for you to practise at home for the week to embed their phonic knowledge and practise their decoding and comprehension skills. Please ensure that you write in your child’s diary each time that you hear them read.
Here are some useful, fun links that you can use to support your child’s learning:
