Remote education e-safety tips for Parents/Carers can be found here
Phonics/Reading
- Please ensure that your child reads either their school book or should they complete it, a book of their choice for 20 minutes. I understand that parents/carers may not have the time to listen to their child every day and so even if your child reads to their self, this would really benefit them. Make use of your reading at home chart so that on your child's return to school, they can redeem lots of extra Dojo points! Inside your child's learning from home pack you will find a list of question types to ask your child about their book.
- This website contains some brilliant phonics/reading activities to help your child to learn to read. It is ideal for children who are still learning their speed sounds: https://www.starfall.com/h/ltr-classic/
Writing
- Writing ideas/prompts:
- Write a letter to someone that you haven't seen for a while and ask a grown if you could send it to them either in the post or via email.
- Find out some facts about your favourite animal and create a fact file.
- Help a grown-up to write a shopping list.
- If you could meet a famous person, who would you choose to meet and why?
- Write about what it would be like if you had an elephant as a pet.
- What do you want to be when you grow up and why?

Work of the Week!
Zac wrote this poem about Chinese New Year. I loved the detail in this poem and the lovely range of adjectives that he used.
