For a look at the rest of our curriculum for the Autumn Term, have a look at our Autumn Overview above.

Each week, children will be given a list of spellings to learn plus a task to complete with these words.  They will also be expected to use Spelling Shed to practise these words. There will also be a weekly Maths Shed task to complete online.

Homework will be set every Friday and should be completed and handed in by the following Thursday.

Please support your child in completing homework and returning their homework book on time each week.

Maths:

Each week Maths Shed homework will be set to be completed by Friday. The children have all been given an EdShed login which will be inside their homework books. The Maths Shed homework set will be focused around our current maths topic.

KIRF stands for Key Instant Recall Facts and the main focus of these is mental calculation. Children have an Autumn term 1 sheet in their homework books with key mental arithmetic facts that they can practice at home and refer to throughout the half term.

Spelling:

Each week the children have Spelling Shed homework which will be set to be completed by Friday. The children have all been given an EdShed login which will be inside their homework books.

Alongside Spelling Shed, we also have weekly spelling lessons in which we support children to use a range of different spelling strategies.

Talk Times:

Each term the children will have homework of completing a ‘talk time’- this term’s theme is hobbies. The children could also have a PowerPoint, poster or performance to go alongside their presentation. We can’t wait to hear all of their talk times!

We will be having focused handwriting sessions in school to aid the children in their learning of this key skill. Any support you can provide at home is much appreciated.

This term, PE will be on Tuesday and Friday – please can children come to school in their PE kit, in their correct house coloured t-shirt.
