Home Learning Challenges:
- Practise your times tables each day to encourage instant recall of random timestables questions. Focus on 2,5,10,3,4 and 8. Don’t forget that you can use Times Tables Rockstars.
- Read a book of your choice with somebody at home each day for at least 20 minutes! Children can select their own reading matter but we would encourage them to explore quality texts that cover a variety of genres eg. fiction, non-fiction, poetry, classics, newspapers etc.

-You will find the lists of Common Exception Words for each year group attached. If you could start looking at the relevant words with your child, this would be helpful for them. Activities like playing snap with the words written on cards, or playing a memory game with a few words at at time, can really help children to absorb them.
- Enhance your mathematics skills using RMeasimaths .
- Improve your Spanish using Linguascope .
