Home Learning
Reading
Children are expected to read at least three times a week at home to an adult and log this on their Boom Reader account.
Times Table Rock Stars
Times Table Rock Stars is an online learning platform, where personalised times tables are set for each child to support their recall and progression. Garage is the Times Tables Rock Stars game which adapts questions for children, so it gives them the questions they need to develop their understanding. Just three minutes of Times Tables Rock Stars a day can help to improve recall! Certificates are given out in a celebration assembly each week to children who have earned the most coins or shown the most improvement in their recall.
Early Years Foundation Stage
Children in Reception are expected to read their colour banded book three times a week. Children in Nursery are expected to engage in their colour banded book three times a week. We do not use Times Table Rock Stars or Numbots for children in Early Years. Home school links are planned for Reception and Nursery Stay and Play sessions and our seasonal walks for Reception children.
Parent Voice
We would like to know your views of the school and the education your child receives. We conduct questionnaires and surveys throughout the year. You can also add your views on Ofsted’s Parent View.
“The experience of the teaching staff has really helped in settling my daughter into the new class for the new year group. I rely on your expertise to provide support at home and look forward to receiving feedback on both routine and ad hoc basis as needed. Thank you.”
“My child is very excited to go to Reception every morning. She enjoys her new routine, and we talk about her time at school every day. She has made new friends and she likes the school dinner very much. Thank you!”
