Useful Information

As part of our school policy, children are encouraged to ‘Enjoy Learning Together at Home’ and learning opportunity grids can be found on the website for you to be able to download or print yourselves. These include a list of suggested ways that you may choose to support your child at home. Updates will be made each term and put on the Tigers Class website page for your information.

Please encourage your child to practise their times-tables regularly as this will help them in many areas of mathematical learning. Please contact us if you require the TTRockstars login details to be sent home again.

Reading enables children to immerse themselves in a story and opens their world up to a wealth of knowledge beyond belief. Encourage your child to read regularly by themselves but also to enjoy sharing a book, magazine or newspaper with an adult. Also, remember that poetry introduces children to a great range of language features which can inspire them to use new vocabulary in their own writing. Whatever you are reading, talk about the content, ask questions and encourage your child to explain and prove their responses using evidence from the text.

Thank you so much for your continued support. Please do not hesitate to ask if there is anything you are unsure about.

Mrs Gardiner and Mrs Graham
