There will be no homework or spellings set for the next week. You may want to use this time to do some extra revision. On the 31.3.22 I added lots of revision materials that you could use to get those last little bits in this week.
Before next week commences please know how proud I am of you all and recognise how hard you have worked this year. Next week is just 1 week in our final year, and I cannot wait to celebrate all the wonderful things you have done in your years at primary school over the coming weeks. You are all special, unique and wonderful in your own way and there are so many more achievements to celebrate than a test score. Have a restful weekend and do lots of things that you enjoy.

The children have worked so hard over the last term and really need a well deserved break this Easter. I hope you get to spend lots of time as a family doing all the things you love!
When we come back to school it will be 3 weeks till SATs and I know that a lot of the children are enthusiastic and see the importance of keeping their brains ticking over Easter. With that in mind, I have added some activities below that might just help with this. There are some 10 minutes a day activities for each subject. Additionally there are some revision booklets. Please complete whatever fits in with your Easter holidays.
Take care and enjoy your Easter holidays.

Our first topic will be place value. Have a go at the following questions in your homework book. Please return your homework book completed next Thursday.
Homework
In Key Stage 2, children are given weekly homework to enrich their experiences of the curriculum and consolidate learning. Homework will be a literacy or maths task or something relating to the current topic. Homework will be set on Friday on the class page of the school website and the children will need to return their homework books the following Thursday with the work inside. Children can make notes if there is not access to a printer. The homework book will be signed by a member of staff before returning. If your child is finding a set piece challenging, please let us know before the Thursday it is due in. This will ensure that the children are able to complete the piece and build their confidence.
Weekly spelling will be uploaded to this section. Children should practice these ready for the following Friday. We encourage children to read every night and for them to talk about their books with you and what they have read. This greatly helps their understanding of texts. We appreciate that people also have busy lives too, therefore we expect that children are reading 5 out of 7 nights per week. Reading records will be checked and signed on Monday and Thursday by a member of staff. Please sign every time your child reads.
We thank you for your support.
