Maths - Please access Numbots each week to rehearse key mathematical skills.  

Reading - Children are expected to read daily and record this in their reading diaries. Reading diaries will be checked by an adult every Friday. 

Additional books and quizzes linked to your child's phonics level can be accessed on Oxford Reading Owl.

Children who have completed the phonics curriculum and are now on 'Accelerated Reader' will need to complete quizzes after every book read - please follow this link and log in using details in your child's reading diary: 

Children who achieve 100% on their quizzes will receive a 100% sticker in their reading diary. They will then get a 'dip in the box' when they achieve 10 stickers.
