Homework

Reception Class

Within Reception, pupils will be sent home with words to read on a weekly basis. These will be linked to what they have been learning in phonics that week. Parents are also asked to read with children each night, if possible. Parents will also receive a weekly newsletter with suggested practical activities to support the learning of their child.
