READING & HOMEWORK
ONE OF OUR KEY PRIORITIES IS DEVELOPING READING. WE STRONGLY BELIEVE READING UNDERPINS OUR CHILDRENS’ SUCCESSES ACROSS THE CURRICULUM.
WE USE THE READ WRITE INC PHONICS SCHEME TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF READING AND WRITING AT CHURCHTOWN.
WE ARE CURRENTLY ASSESSINGYOUR CHILDREN ON THEIR READING SO READING BOOKS WILL COME HOME BEFORE THE END OF THE WEEK. WE STRONGLY
ENCOURAGE CHILDREN TO READ AT LEAST THREE TIMES PER WEEK. THIS CAN BE RECORDED IN THEIR READING DIARY.
HOMEWORK & MATHS
HOMEWORK IS CURRENTLY SET WEEKLY AND WILL BE SENT HOME ON FRIDAY TO BE RETURNED BY THE FOLLOWING WEDNESDAY. IT WILL CONSOLIDATE LEARNING FROM THE WEEK IN EITHER ENGLISH OR MATHS.
THE CHILDREN WILL BE CARRYING OUT MATHS PASSPORT TESTS TWICE A WEEK. THESE WILL BE SENT HOME PLEASE PRACTISE THESE WITH YOUR CHILDREN.
