Organisational Information Learning at home: The first priority is always reading (because, once you can read well, you are then able to access all other learning). All children will read individually to an adult at least once a week. The book that they have read, along with its page numbers, will be recorded in your child’s school diary on that day’s date. Your child will be given the opportunity to change their reading book twice each week. In year 1, this will be on Tuesdays and Fridays. We encourage children to read at home every day. Children must ensure that their reading book and school diary are in school every day. The next priority is to ensure spellings are learnt each week. Spellings should be practised at home as frequently as needed. Your child will be tested each Monday, and the test will be recorded in their spelling book. Please practise the spellings they spelt incorrectly, during the test, at home. Following that, every effort needs to be spent trying to REMEMBER the information in the subject organisers that will be sent home. The subject organisers are a summary of your child’s learning and your child is expected to remember and recall this learning at various points throughout the year (probably through a half-termly quiz). How your children remembers this learning is up to you… - Some children will go through the organiser with you (or by themselves). - You could ask questions to see if your child remembers what’s in their subject organiser. - Some parents/children will think of an activity linked to the subject organiser (eg. Mind map, model, A-Z, poem, mnemonic, diary, story, photos, drawing, wordsearch, etc), but this is entirely up to you! Anything produced doesn’t have to be bought into school, because the purpose is to help your child remember. In light of missed learning during last year, recapping information on past subject organisers will help review learning. Practising basic arithmetic, phonic sounds, and handwriting will help to close gaps that have occurred during the last six months. PE will take place every Tuesday. For the Autumn term, your child should come into school wearing their PE kit.
