ENGLISH: (due Wednesday 14th June 2023 - please ensure your child completes this homework as we will be going through this in our English lesson): For homework this week, we would like your child to write a story about a picture (a template has been given to your child).

Group C: hit, bit, sit, fit, kit
MATHS: As previously stated please keep encouraging children to practise their maths every day with Sumdog and Times Tables Rockstars. Please check the curriculum maps to see what will be covered in maths this half term. Here are some useful links.
READING: As mentioned previously, your child will be building up a range of reading skills. They should have strong phonics knowledge and growing comprehension skills, which will help them read more broadly, confidently, and fluently. Please encourage your child to read for at least 10 minutes each day. Ask them to read aloud to a member of your family. Remember to talk about the book.
- What might happen next?
- How do you think the character is feeling? Why do you think that?
- What happened in the story?
- Can you find a word that means the same as ............?
- What is the definition of .........? If you don't know, can you find it in the dictionary?
- Did you enjoy the story? Why?
- Have you read a different story that has similar themes in to this story?
Remember to refer back to the text when answering the questions.
Remember to look at our Curriculum map each half term to find out about what we are learning in each area of the curriculum and to support your child's home learning. If you'd like to learn more, visit the BBC Bitesize website for KS1 - here you'll find relevant and fun activities which will support your learning in each subject.
Have a lovely weekend and thank you for your continuous support.
