English
This half term we will be reading Beegu by Alexis Deacon., a wonderful story about a little alien who crashes on Earth and needs help. Unfortunately, the big creatures she meets on Earth are not very friendly. But the small ones are a different matter! The story teaches empathy, sparks creativity and models friendship.

Spellings
Children will be given their new half-termly spelling letters. They can also be found at the bottom of this page. Please ensure you continue to help your child learn their spellings and apply them in their writing; this is often the part children struggle with once they have learnt them for a test.
Homework
Your child can access Numbots and TT Rockstars weekly. These are fantastic apps to support children’s maths fluency.
Reading
Your child will bring home a reading book on Mondays, to be returned the following Monday. Listening to your child read regularly will really support them with their fluency and decoding. Children will now also be able to visit the School Library each fortnight to choose a book to read in class.
